DVA [HI:EMOTIONS] – NOTU_URONLINEU LP

NOTU_URONLINEU.jpg

DVA’s new album NOTU_URONLINEU marks a strong and brave turning point for his music.

Made with the [Hi:Emotions] moniker that DVA has used for a number of remixes in the past, NOTU_URONLINEU is very different from what you might know him for both in it’s darkness and it’s abstract ambitions, but the detail and quality of the music is likely to win over new fans.

The rhythmic brilliance and use of space that have given his dance floor recordings their distinct character have mutated and undergone re-assembly into deeper and darker shades. A more pronounced ‘off grid’, improvised character has seeped in which gives the record a looser feel to previous work, as if intuition guides it rather than club practicalities.

The album was made under some new self-imposed conditions; of the recording of the album he says ‘I realised before making this album I was most happiest when listening to music in the dark like I did when I was at school. So I decided to record the whole album in the dark too’.

Along with this, The album is peppered with hints of faux- therapeutic advertising and psychotic jingles – a reflection of the stress of online life.

Of the themes, DVA says ‘The album project comes from thinking about a short visual story set in a time where a mega corporation H:E / Hi:Emotions is slowly taking control of everything, and plan to eventually make all people live life under one brand in virtual reality.’

NOTU_URONLINEU puts you at the start of that journey.

Jessy Lanza – Oh No LP

HDBCD030_Jessy_Lanza

Jessy Lanza’s second album ‘Oh No’ is addressed to her own constant nervousness. The pressure of music making. The exclamation ‘Oh No’, for Jessy, marks yet another incident of randomness interrupting her tranquillity. All of which seems at odds with the confidence and spontaneity of this album as well as recent collaborations with the likes of Caribou, DJ Spinn and Morgan Geist and his Galleria project.

Made in her hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, with production partner Jeremy Greenspan from Junior Boys, the plaintive, reverb drizzled mood of the first album has all but given away to a more direct, self-assured and joyful album. As with many artists whose hometown lie off the usual network of cultural hotspots, ‘Oh No’ is driven positively by the idea of making music that isn’t inspired by where she lives. Instead, the album resonates more with the philosophy of experimental pop of Japanese 80s electro outfit Yellow Magic Orchestra and Jessy’s breathless, pitched vocals are reminiscent of YMO collaborator Miharu Koshi. Playfully laced with cascading arpeggios, crispy drum machines and breezy songs, ‘Oh No’ has an infectious energy that has been brewing in her live shows since her first album. As Jessy says of it ‘I want to make people feel good and I want to make myself feel good’.
