avian label head shifted launches drifting over, a new imprint dedicated to his own output.

primavera may lifts you from ordinary life: the apparition of rain clouds and droplets blur into a soft curtain over the world as the whir of delicate hi-hats glisten in a muted sunlight. imagine a moment where the most inanimate inhabitants of the earth ghost dance before disappearing into nothing. makker s spoken vocals add a crestfallen hue to the vanished. she monotonously recites her regret: -everything is dancing / everything is crying / it can feel so heavy / before it has begun- a denser, yet similarly sorrowful song, before i fall asleep is sculpted around nimble strings and webbed by breathy vocals, remaining slightly suspended, as if levitating just above the verdant ground. halfway through primavera april, the track is transformed by acid showers, a lead synth lifts off to reveal a ravaged landscape, diametrically opposing the previous peace. the ambient acceptance snow closes primavera with the self-fulfilling prophecy of its theme: that snow will fall, and the world will go to sleep. conjuring the surreality of renkas childhood landscapes, for all its reverie, primavera always orients itself toward the responsibilities of the present. there is an acknowledgment that all day dreams must lead back to reality, that all journeys must be fulfilled.

inga mauer loves trains. -it s a fantastic chance to be nowhere-, she says. from cologne to clone is, in many ways, a celebration of this nomadic sense of existence. -i don t need a home, only a studio-, she confirms. recorded in a period when inga lived between cologne and rotterdam, home to the famed clone records shop (hence the title), the music on this ep is inspired both by the emptiness you suffer in futile non-places such as airports and the chasm you experiment in majestic scenarios as a russian forest. both by solitary travels and first encounters with machines you always wanted to touch like an 808. six tracks constructed with razor-sharp drum-machines, penetrating synth sequences and estranged vocals. raw sounds that capture the type of clairvoyance that one can only feel when in transit, far from the chains of our comfort zones. from cologne to clone is much more than a train journey. it s an introspective voyage to a beautifully warped soul. a reminder that, in fact, sometimes you only need your self-expression to feel at home.

that night, we answered a regular call, something about crazy loud noises coming out from a basement. while driving to the area all i could think when i first heard the bass stomping was: “man, whatever, this doesn t even sound like music to me.” and we were at least a 100 meter away from the source of the sound. when we got there, after knocking several times on the door, we decided we had more than enough probable causes to bust in. after a warning, we kicked the door open. what we saw inside was a five feet tall woman jumping around in that cacophony. we screamed and she ignored us, my colleague then panicked and shot her with his taser several times – she then simply pulled the probes out of her body shouting moments moments – and continued to jump around..
