Zero Tep - "to breathe, unfold"

a0343619281_10.jpg

We’re pleased to share an intense new piece from Zero Tep with you: “to breathe, unfold.”

The 10-minute composition is constructed from a tangled web of synthesizers, fuzzy guitar pedals, dreamy delay, and a meticulously composed string orchestra. An electronic tone poem for the wilderness, “to breathe, unfold” represents a stylistic expansion on the Zero Tep sound, building on a foundation of psychedelia, trip-hop, and loose strands of pop and drone music.

Psychic Sex - Home of the Paranoid

The new Psychic Sex album, Home of the Paranoid, is out now on Subviolet Records!

Home of the Paranoid is a collection of rock music recorded and assembled from Summer 2015 - Winter 2017. Polyphonic poetry clashes with fractured alt-rock riffs and sardonic vocals. Like its chromatically ill cover, Home of the Paranoid echoes of American rock music past, finding a midpoint between no wave apathy and new wave groove.

Kaelin Bougneit - Utopia! Utopia! Echo, blithe apocalypse!

Utopia! Utopia! cover.jpg

As Subviolet gears up for a busy 2018, I wanted to share a small omen of the things to come. Utopia! Utopia! Echo, blithe apocalypse! is a loop of minimalist music made in Ableton Live and turned loose alongside a Live project file to help you inspire your own compositions. The B-side comes from a late night duet with my old apartment heater...

The artwork is taken from a children's book my aunt Susannah illustrated for my brother and I as kids. I rediscovered the book recently and snapped that photo because I loved the haunting watercolor bleed.

You can download the EP here as well as the Ableton Live project file for the song.

In other news, catch a little video of Zero Tep's performance at the first Phuture Collective monthly! It was a great time, and I got to connect with a crowd of people I never had before. Energetic and carefree all around.
