CINE is the first collaborative project from rapper Cavalier and producer Child Actor, dropping November 15, 2024 on Backwoodz Studioz. Both artists have already had an active year; Child Actor crafted big singlesfor ELUCID, Navy Blue, and Open Mike Eagle, alongside a full album with shemar. All Cavalier did wasput out what might be the album of the year with Different Type Time in April, as well as We Gon' Need Each Other, a side project with Quelle Chris. It is a special moment when you have two artists on the rise team up for a project of this weight, and CINE delivers. This is a midsummer's dream of an album languid, alluring, mysterious and beautiful-and through it all danger lurks in the wings.Cavalier is a visual artist in every sense of the word, so it is fitting when he describes the album in cinematicterms. InchThis is a rhythmic biopic, Inch he says. InchChild Actor didn't just produce this record, he scored chapters ofmy life for processing, framed buried thoughts, and illuminated the grittier parts of my journey.InchIf Different Type Time was Cavalier's sprawling magnum opus-his InchDo The Right ThingInch, if you will-then CINE is his InchCrooklynInch. Equal parts memoir and memorial, CINE pulls from sepia-toned summers and black- and-white nights; one of ten million stories from a city that is gone but not yet forgotten. For his part, ChildActor saw where Cavalier was going and built upon those themes and ideas as their collaboration deepened.InchWe talked about how these beats were somehow drawing him into a specific period of his life for whateverreason, and I wanted to find a way to have my post production provoke a feeling of genuine recognition, touse sounds and textures to turn whatever vague notions those beats might have been giving him into true sensememories, Inch the producer explains.So, on InchSojourn, Inch while Cavalier immerses us in a w

Less than a month after one of the most violent fire events in the history of the continent, new shoots had burst through the scorched hardpan, nourished by the still-vital roots of those flayed and blackened trees. John Vaillant, Fire WeatherLoscil (aka Scott Morgan) returns to Kranky with Lake Fire, a nine-track offering of ash-laden sonics that mine the tension within the cycle of destruction and rejuvenation. Lake Fire is the result of a disjointed creative process. Originally conceived as a suite for electronics and ensemble, most of the original compositions were deserted, save for InchAsh Clouds,Inch featuring James Meager on double bass. The remaining tracks were reshaped and remixed, built anew out of the remnants of the abandoned work. The result is a Phoenix, an album burnt to the ground only to be reassembled out of it's cinders. Fragments of the original lurk beneath a densely overpainted canvas of sound.Infused into the resulting rearrangements are impressions from a road trip into the mountains marking a personal half-century milestone, surrounded by the ominous proximity of wildfires and dense smoke; celebrating life while the world burns. The album's title comes from the striking irony that forest fires are often named after regional lakes-perhaps subconsciously referencing ancient lore. The cover photos were taken from this same trip, while sitting in a rowboat staring into the grey abyss of an opposing mountainside outside of Revelstoke, BC, obfuscated by smoke from a nearby lake fire.
