stefakn There's an almost neoclassical beauty in the shaping and balancing of each sound, something clean and chiseled and unextravagantly beautiful. Favorite track: Votive.

dag_nabbhett the station bound moorings of the space elevator suddenly snap, flinging you into a high speed, rapidly decaying, low earth orbit. hard burning rescue craft deploy grappling beams to no avail. the ai chooses Trenchcoat as its final selection.

Phantom Doodler An electronic ode to the lavish drama of orchestral arrangement. Familiar yet fresh and compelling all at once.

The gaye device Another gorgeous album by Faten Kanaan. Minimal, maximal, classical baroque,melodic and hypnotically repetitive but never boring. Described as strange? Strange is good!

about

PRE-ORDER out 2/24/2023

Faten Kanaan's fifth LP Afterpoem is a mysterious, smudgy, bittersweet, and uniquely playful album. Deeply melodic, it continues her poignant exploration of counterpoint as a narrative tool.

From the repetitive structures of modern minimalism and early music/baroque influences - to more languid textural ebbs & tides, there's a warmth in her use of electronic instruments that gives the album a curiously timeless feel. Composing intuitively, her music has often been described as 'strange', mostly because it creates its own world- one that isn't easily categorised.

The album's title refers to the haze of a poem's intended meaning being abstractly fleeting and barely graspable. Glistening threads of understanding still touch us - the poetry becoming intimately personal, and no further literal explanation is needed.

"I find pleasure in music as a language that nudges and hints. There's a potential that lives in things left unsaid... meanings drifting in and out of focus... hovering like spirits. It's a romantic and earnest album... of yearning for lost places and people, while still looking out at the world with tenderness and humour".
