Joni Void - Selfless - VINYL LP

Mise en Abyme is the second full-length by Joni Void, the avant-electronica project of France/Canada producer Jean Cousin, following his acutely accomplished and acclaimed 2017 debut album Selfless (#8 Experimental Album of 2017 at Pitchfork). Consistent with Selfless, the primary materials for the sample-based cut-up songcraft on Mise en Abyme are Cousin's recordings of the voices of various friends. His self-professed body/voice dysmorphia, social disphoria, and search for the disembodied-yet-emotional transcendent subject, continues to compel the use of other (predominantly non-verbal) voices in the construction of these sublimely affecting electronic-minimalist compositions. Mise en Abyme is markedly more introspective and meditative than it's predecessor, explicitly in search of intimacy and recuperative beauty. Grappling with a cascade of heartbreaks and discontinuities over the past year, Cousin also calls the new album a Inchtime-travel experimentInch, as he culls sounds from devices and sources spanning childhood to the to retrieve and reframe subjective memories, histories and Inchregressions through former selvesInch via immersion in the evocative potential of the mostly wordless voices of others. The resulting song cycle is a remarkable blend of conceptual abstraction and highly emotive warmth, interiority, humanity and specificity. Album Tracks 1. Paradox 2. Dysfunctional Helper 3. Lov-Ender 4. Abusers 5. Non-Dit 6. No Reply 7. Safe House 8. Cinetrauma 9. Voix Sans Issue 10. Deep Impression 11. Persistence 12. Resolve

180 gram vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. Heavenly Recordings presents Gargoyle, the new album from the Mark Lanegan Band. The 10-track LP features guest appearances from long-time collaborators Josh Homme, Greg Dulli and Duke Garwood. The contributions of English musician Rob Marshall (who co-wrote six songs) fit perfectly with the direction Lanegan had been pondering in essence, a more expansive progression from the moody Krautrock-influenced electronica textures of his two previous albums, Blues Funeral and Phantom Radio. While sharing roots with it's two predecessors, on Gargoyle there's a significant up-shift in the swaggering power lode of such keynote songs as InchNocturneInch and InchBeehive,Inch while the lyrics' tonal palette is more varied. The album title comes from a lyric in InchBlue Blue SeaInch - InchGargoyle perched on gothic spireInch - and was chosen for it's hint of self-deprecation. Album Tracks 1. Death's Head Tattoo 2. Nocturne 3. Blue Blue Sea 4. Beehive 5. Sister 6. Emperpor 7. Goodbye to Beauty 8. Drunk on Destruction 9. First Day of Winter 10. Old Swan
