This New Year, which won’t be like any other, we are looking forward in a very special way with a new compilation album showcasing the work of many of TONN’s artists with brand new music. ‘Fast Forward’ features a host of stellar new tracks from MADMOIZEL, This Is The Bridge, Iv/An, Misfortunes, Prinzessin, Guinæpig, No, Me and a Box, Crystalline Stricture, LoveTheMachine, Ruzé and Alan Currall.
From his home city of Montréal, No brings us synth infused with lyricism mapped over the dark undercurrent of an intensively driving beat. From vocals suffused with a compelling nihilistic charge, No draws the listener into narratives with a somber core. This is synth unprocessed and raw edged, with an immediacy that goes straight to the heart of the matter. With its infectious bass and poignant synth lines, interwoven with themes around the complexity of modern day living in an often impersonal world, Crystalline Stricture’s pure analogue sound is beautifully constructed and played from the heart. The word cold gets used a lot when we speak about TONN Recordings’ synth, so it’s a rare thing to come across something in this music that evokes a warmer tone. But it’s that quality of warmth that has become the hallmark of Misfortunes’ sound. A synth that is rich, with a rhythmic undercurrent, always poised and poetic and a voice that is never more beautiful than in its native Greek. TONN Recordings Special Anniversary Edition featuring MADMOIZEL, Crystalline Stricture, Prinzessin, This Is the Bridge, Monsieur Crane and Iv/An. |
