Pias news - Destroyer is pleased to announce LABYRINTHITIS

Pias news - Destroyer is pleased to announce LABYRINTHITIS, out 25th March via Bella Union.

For the first time, Bejar himself played a big role in creating the visuals for the video (“for better or worse,” he notes). “I had an idea of writing a couple lines on the idea of ‘mystery’ and ‘going nowhere,’ as they are two of my favorite themes. That and the Grim Reaper and being pursued by some silent, unnamable thing that constantly lurks one foot to the left of you. Especially as the world's decay becomes increasingly less abstract. Also wanted to write on the romance of terror. The song ‘Tintoretto, It's for You’ speaks to all these things, oddly enough so does the video…”

Video director David Galloway adds: “It hopefully presents some loose giallo vibes despite the fact that it clearly isn't a giallo at all. Nobody dies, nothing is explored at length, and it’s ultimately a collection of neighbourhood red herrings. All leads that go nowhere. But that’s the mystery. That’s the mystery about music videos.”

LABYRINTHITIS is a journey deep into uncharted Dan Bejar country. It brims with mystic and intoxicating terrain, the threads of Bejar’s notes woven through by a trove of allusions at once eerily familiar and intimately perplexing. “Do you remember the mythic beast?” Bejar asks at the outset of “Tintoretto, It’s for You,” casting torchlight over the labyrinth’s corridors. “Tintoretto, it’s for you / The ceiling’s on fire and the contract is binding.”

More than an arcane puzzle for the listener, LABYRINTHITIS warps and winds through unfamiliar territory for Bejar as well. Written largely in 2020 and recorded the following spring, the album most often finds Bejar and frequent collaborator John Collins seeking the mythic artifacts buried somewhere under the dance floor, from the glitzy spiral of “It Takes a Thief” to the Books-ian collage bliss of the title track. Initial song ideas ventured forth from disco, Art of Noise, and New Order, Bejar and Collins championing the over-the-top madcapper-y.

Bejar and Collins conducted their questing in the height of isolation, Collins on the remote Galiano Island and Bejar in nearby Vancouver, sending ideas back and forth when restrictions didn’t allow them to meet. Ahead of mixing, the Destroyer band was brought into the fold to further the unprepared synchronicity and mutual discovery.

Lyrically, LABYRINTHITIS embraces a widescreen maximalism, blocks of text dotted with subversions and hedges. Building from the koans of Have We Met, Bejar continues to carve his words precisely, toying with expectations and staid symbols, while Collins’ production reconstructs the pieces into a unified whole.

In support of LABYRINTHITIS, the Destroyer band heads out on a tour of North America this spring. Bejar recently released a documentary of the previous tour for 2020’s “Have We Met.”

Electro/Industrial Artist I YA TOYAH Unleashes New Single & Video, ‘Out Of Order’

Chicago-based one-woman industrial army, I YA TOYAH has unleashed her highly-anticipated new single & video, "Out Of Order."  The song comes from the upcoming EP of the same name due out in March.

"Out Of Order" - The Video: I Ya Toyah - Out of Order - YouTube

The video is a surreal story of a gradual mental breakdown, caused by an isolation and misinformation fed by media.  It was inspired by the film art of David Lynch and the pandemic.

Video Production &  Scenography: Joel Lopez of Lumbra Productions.
Music: Composed and performed by I Ya Toyah
Produced by I Ya Toyah and Nick Palazzo.
Mixed and Mastered by Nick Palazzo at Evolution Recording

"Out Of Order" - The Song:
A pandemic song, "Out Of Order" is expressing the quarantine moods of isolation, uncertainty, chaos and inner distortion.

"I wrote it feeling these emotions and being unable to share them as we all used to- through the togetherness, a hug, and live music experience. In the future the pandemic will be over, but the need for this connection will remain- I hope this song will be a reminder of how we survived this dark time, and how fragile yet strong we all are- even when we are out of order." - Ania (I Ya Toyah)

Even voorstellen - Billie Marten - opkomende singer-songwritertalent uit de UK

5 jaar na haar nominatie als BBC Sound 2016, waar ze in één adem werd vernoemd naast o.a. Dua Lipa, Jack Garratt en Mura Masa, is Billie Marten klaar om indieharten wereldwijd te veroveren.

The Line Of Best Fit - “A gentle and reserved masterpiece”
DIY - “A striking sensory experience. All signs point towards a colourful future for this talented teen”
Independent - “Unbelievably beautiful”

Wie is Billie Marten?
De Britse singer-songwriter Billie Marten - geboren Isabella Sophie Tweddle - groeide op in Ripon, North Yorkshire en werd als kind grootgebracht met muziek van o.a. Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell en Kate Bush. Al snel leerde ze gitaar spelen en schreef ze haar eigen nummers.
Op amper 17 jaar haalde ze haar eerste platencontract binnen en niet veel later werd ze naast o.a. Dua Lipa, Jack Garratt en Mura Masa genomineerd als BBC Sound van 2016, waarbij ze lof kreeg van onder meer radiopresentatoren Annie Mac en Huw Stephens.
Haar debuut Writing of Blues and Yellows volgde nog datzelfde jaar en in 2019 releasete ze haar vervolgplaat Feeding Seahorses By Hand.
Flora Fauna
Met haar nieuwe album, dat ze eerder deze maand aankondigde, slaat Billie Marten een nieuwe weg in. Op Flora Fauna ruilt ze de minimalistische folk waarmee ze bekend werd in voor een meer volwassen en vollere sound met een sterke gevoel voor bas en ritme. Marten liet zich hierdoor graag inspireren door krautrockers zoals Can, Broadcast, Arthur Russell en Fiona Apple.
Garden of Eden, de eerste single uit de plaat, smaakt alvast naar meer!

"The name Flora Fauna is like a green bath for my eyes," she says. "If the album was a painting, it would look like flora and fauna to me, it encompasses every organism, every corner of Earth, a feeling of total abundance."
