EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Candy - 'Everything In Motion'

25/11/2019

 
Picture
Melbourne’s premium bedroom producer, Candy is excited to share his second album, Everything In Motion. 

Everything In Motion finds Candy in a seemingly more positive headspace but as usual, ruminating on life with honest lyrics that cut to the bone and whimsy that flecks through his sunny instrumentation.

Candy has the unique ability to write bright tracks juxtaposed by uneasy topics and Everything In Motion is a testament to that. Familiar traces the struggles with dementia; forgetting who you are, where you are, and the impact on those around you. Feel sees him looking inward, with an underlying feeling of desolation, while Sorry, Sydney is his apology to all the trash he spoke about the city after living there.

Finding inspiration in usual places, the album title was came about after visiting a William Kentridge exhibition at The Gallery of NSW while on tour, Candy explains, “I really enjoy the notion that we're constantly moving and found it to be a good mantra.”

Everything In Motion was recorded in his tin shed in Thornbury, he’s since moved house relieved, “I’m glad I am out of there now cause there was A LOT of spiders and I was sick of sweating bullets.”

Release: Independent, November 15th, 2019

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Moor Mother - 'Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes'

18/11/2019

 
Picture
Analog Fluids of Sonic Black Holes is the new full-length by Philadelphia-based artist, poet, and musician, Camae Ayewa, who performs under the name Moor Mother.

A sonic black hole is a place where fluid moves so fast that it traps all sound. To be entangled in its gravity is to feel the pressure of an unjust system - corruption so powerful that it drowns out whatever you throw at it. Analog fluids are resistance - individuals who work to create and preserve community in the face of immense darkness and cosmic pressure.

Begun in 2017 as a sonic counterpart to Ayewa's art show at New York performance space, The Kitchen, Analog Fluids was refined through exhaustive touring. It tracks Ayewa's emergence into an expanded artistic ecosystem, with contributions from a distinctive set of friends and collaborators like Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Zonal), King Britt, Saul Williams, Giant Swan, and Bookworms.

Edge Radio Recommended: FKA twigs - 'MAGDALENE'

11/11/2019

 
Picture
MAGDALENE is the follow up to FKA twigs' critically acclaimed Brit Award and Mercury Prize nominated debut LP1 (2014, Young Turks). Created in a period where her confidence was knocked following heartbreak and laparoscopic surgery, MAGDALENE is the sound of twigs reconfiguring, emotionally and physically. As she sings on 'Mary Magdalene', the album track that opened her highly-praised, sold-out live shows earlier in the year, “A woman’s time / A woman’s work / A woman’s time to embrace / She must put herself first”. MAGDALENE is produced by FKA twigs and, as with LP1, the recording process has been directed by her at every stage. It was recorded between London, New York and Los Angeles over the last three years and features major contributions from Nicolas Jaar alongside a host of other collaborators. MAGDALENE sees FKA twigs creating a whole new artistic universe and it is, without doubt, her most masterful work to date.

Edge Radio Recommended: Elizabeth - 'The Wonderful World Of Nature'

4/11/2019

 
Picture
Stepping into her sound like a silk robe, Elizabeth is the patron saint of sad girls on The Wonderful World of Nature, her debut album, produced by John Castle (Hatchie, Angie McMahon, Cub Sport, Vance Joy). Elizabeth is a glamorous tragic, a queer pop anti-heroine holding a curtain of glittering melodies over ugly truths.

Casting herself as the antagonist wielding pop songs as weapons, she wipes away her running mascara and escapes a destruction of her own making. This debutante divorcée has traded in her white veil for a cocktail and concocted a collection of shimmering heartbreak bangers that celebrate the femme and her indulgent indiscretions. The record is a testament to obsession and the desire to consume as much – of people, of substances, of herself – as she can.

These are pop songs that leave a lasting mark; lovebites that linger. Operating with an absolute absence of ego, together Castle and Elizabeth succumbed to their purest pop whims. 

A fixation on intimacy extends far beyond just the lyrics – in designing the sound of her record, Elizabeth sought to create a feeling of intense closeness with listeners, to give the impression she’s hovering close, dealing out melodic incantations like a trusted friend or conscience on your shoulder. The effect is immediate, drawing the listener fully into their body and reminding them of the weight of heartbreak and desire. In facing the futility of holding onto something that’s already slipped out of her grasp, Elizabeth has created a new kind of heartbreak album.
