JH1.FS3 - Trials & Tribulations - VINYL LP

Comprised of Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary) and Jesse Sanes (Hoax, Liebestod), JH1. FS3 delineates a more subtle Inchcinema of the earInch, and a cold approach to reflecting on experience without leveraging tropes or familiarity. Emotional exploration through sound can become so indulgent that it overshadows the journey. JH1. FS3 eschews mining the human condition as mediation, opting for nuanced analysis rather than vanity. Using the seeds of improvisation as their root construct, the duo work without code, vocabulary or genre. Instead, they systematically work as individuals in tandem, using disparate and varied sounds and sources to create gauzy collages of ideas, sound and visceral sense reaction. With each exposition on Trials and Tribulations, the duo ornately explores the relationship between space and time by reconfiguring the tendrils and fissures that bind them. Percussive oscillations, descant vocals, and deconstructed patterns create fields that vibrate, plunge, and drone. Sequentially, each track contributes a lucid vignette to the larger account, engaging the listener to query where, when, and how they're being driven. The contrast of the lead single InchAleppo In Headlines,Inch with it's thrusting syncopation to the cautious beauty of InchAt the Bottom of the NightInch compounds and depth and disquisition of the duo's process.
