About this product

Los Angeles-via-Oakland musician Chris Adams who makes music under the moniker Pendant releases his Saddle Creek debut Harp, on April 8th. A rich, surprising new body of work from the producer and songwriter, Harp connects 90s house and rave music with hip-hop, shoegaze, and pop, and which serves as a culmination of years of painful emotional work for Adams brought on by the death of his Father over 10 years prior. Though Harp is Adam's sophomore album as Pendant it feels like a starting point. The of his 2019 debut Through a Coil was marred by the messy, public dissolution of the record tag it was released on the day it was to be released. A year later he was burnt out. Attempting to tour the album had been hard on his voice, and the structures of rock music, which had dictated his entire life as a musician, were beginning to feel claustrophobic. Pendant's salvation came, ironically, in the form of the pandemic. Adams was ready to make new music but was both mentally and physically marooned, unable to reach the tools he would ordinarily use to make music or the headspace he would ordinarily inhabit. Without a guitar, the crutch that had supported much of his music-making in the past, he was forced to sketch out Harp's world in a more impressionistic, free-associative way. Long a fan of dance and electronic music, he was suddenly without any good reason to not venture into that beat-heavy, synth-drenched world. The resulting Harp recalls the precise but emotionally rich landscapes of Arca or Oneohtrix Point Never, rendered in the watercolors of My Bloody Valentine.TRACK LISTING1. Laid in Orchids2.

Green-House - Hinterlands   - CASSETTES

As Green-House, musicians Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan engage human nature and the natural world through joyous, dynamic synthesis. Overlaying frequencies and expressions like camouflage, their deeply layered collaborative process begins with either artist; Ardizoni is often drawn to melody, Flanagan to harmonics. The power lies in how their ideas helix together, achieving a depth greater than the sum of it's parts. For their first LP with new tag home, Ghostly International, Green-House grows and refines their vivid instrumental songcraft with uncharted, genre-defying freedom and movement, a more active, percussive, and emotion-filled energy, marked by flowing bodies of sound and sweeping vistas. Hinterlands tunes into the beauty of the world with defiant, radical sincerity. Since 2020, across a catalog of acclaimed releases via the scene-creating Los Angeles imprint, Leaving Records, the duo has pursued a curiosity in environments, reaching for innate and faraway spaces by way of organic and synthetic instrumentation, high-definition sound design, and Inchidiosyncratic melodies crafted with the patient and methodical hand of a gardener,Inch writes Pitchfork. Green-House doesn't fit neatly into any single category. Ardizoni and Flanagan aren't aligned with New Age ideologies or spirituality, and the ambient tag feels increasingly limited given all that's going on in their songs, which skew closer to the realms of IDM or even modern classical on their new album. What remains inherent is an open sense of wonder, Inchthe idea of legitimizing certain emotions within music that often aren't taken seriously in art, like happiness and joy,Inch says Ardizoni, whose eclectic personality shines through even without lyrics.
