About this product
Limited double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 , the fourth album by the Vancouver-born and New York-based acclaimed cellist. Julia Kent rose to prominence with Rasputina and Antony & The Johnsons. Her extensive résumé includes recent work with Swans, Aidan Baker, Rachel Grimes, Rutger Zuydervelt, Barbara Morgenstern, Library Tapes and Khan of Finland. As the title suggests, this is a record born of conflict internal, personal and global. Universal themes. The build of pressure and the threat of violent . Modern guilt. Modern fears. Kent draws from a rich well of emotion, the pieces deceptively rendered, each feeling like a miniature dramatic epic in its own right-sculpted and self-contained. Her work on recent film scores is very much in evidence. While cinematic in scope, there is no trite Hollywood ending here. There is tension and darkness, the edges cracked and frayed. Asperities was recorded, produced and mixed in its entirety by the artist in her New York studio. Looped cello, electronics and found sounds create a world where the technological and the organic merge in perfect symbiosis, the layers of sound peeling back to reveal a beating, bloody human heart at its center. Throughout the plaintive strains of opener InchHellebore,Inch the prowling grace of InchThe Leopard,Inch the elegant restraint of InchHeavy EyesInch and the immersive closer InchTramontana,Inch Kent's cello evokes romance and loss, a yearning for simplicity. This is the soundtrack to the transitory nature of life and the inevitability of death. Album Tracks 1. Hellebore 2. Lac Des Arcs 3. The Leopard 4. Flag of No Country 5. Terrain 6. Empty States 7. Heavy Eyes 8. Invitation to the Voyage 9. Tramontana

Temporal is the elegantly restrained new album by Canadian cellist/composer Julia Kent. Following the dissonance and tension of her previous album for Leaf, 2015's Asperities, Temporal is a meditation on the transitory and fragile nature of existence.1. Last Hour Story2. Imbalance3.

Julia, the debut album from Julia Cumming, embodies the joy and freedom that comes from embracing one's true self. An NYC native, Julia has spent the last decade fronting Sunflower Bean and serving as the muse of campaigns for the likes of YSL and DKNY. While these details could easily cast a 'too cool' persona, the record reveals something much more earnest, timeless and personal. Julia is able to pay homage to the glamour of the performer and the heart of the songwriter simultaneously. Album Tracks 1. My Life 2. Revel in the Knowledge 3. Hollywood Communication 4. Please Let Me Remember This 5. Emotional Labor 6. Ruled By Fear 7. Fucking Closure 8. I Dream of a Fire That Stays Burning When Nobody Tends It 9. Do It All Again 10. Sounds of a Secret 11. Forget the Rest
