Kara-Lis Coverdale & LXV – Sirens

カナダの女性プロデューサー/ミュージシャンKara-Lis Coverdaleによる2015年の名盤が待望の再プレス！Kara-Lis CoverdaleとLXVのコラボレーションによって生まれたこのアルバムは、繊細なシンセサイザーの音色と、微細なサウンドスケープが巧みに組み合わさり、リスナーを深いトランス状態へと誘う。楽曲の中には宗教的な要素や自然音が散りばめられ、リスニング体験を一層豊かにしている。特に「II」や「Moments in Love」は、静謐な美しさを持つ一方で、聴く者に深い感動を与える。アンビエントミュージックの真髄を感じられる一枚であり、日常の喧騒から逃れ、内省的なひとときを過ごすのに最適なアルバムだ。500枚限定復刻！

Eight years after its original release in 2015, and sold out upon release, Umor Rex finally presents a vinyl repress of Sirens, by Kara-Lis Coverdale and LXV. This new edition is limited to 500 copies and comes with revised artwork.

Inspired by the link between seduction and violence, Sirens comprises a series of timbrally vast anamorphic pieces that poise the voice as a newly imagined tool of multiplicity. Processes of sample manipulation, signal processing, routing, and source design inform instrumental writing and performance in feedback until intertwined, flickering between states of conflict and consonance. Apparitions of the schizophrenic voice are at one moment fractured and cold and at the next full of warmth and vivaciousness, embodying velvet rituals of romanticism in the digital age.

Ultimately, Sirens is music for ambitious dreamers: surreal sound portraits sound like the warmth of the world laid over an ice cold virtual altar. LXV’s vocal truncations and fleshy sound palettes depict the archivation of the breath and aural fantasies of the flesh which Coverdale sets amongst a vast and unconfined landscape of deeper and unknown force. Harmonically active and dynamic orchestrations underpin post-sacred tonalities while brooding pipe organs, sphinx flutes, and hailstorms of metallic percussion characterize uniquely disjointed discussions between disparate compositional ontologies. At times violent and at others serenely peaceful and seductive, these pieces, at their most powerful moments illuminate a felt space between cybernetic energy and the body.
