The End of the World According to Whom?: Hesse Kassel Interviewed
Santiago post rock sextet Hesse Kassel speak to Cal Cashin about celebrating and subverting their national identity to create a quintessentially Chilean kind of rock music All photos by Max Nadjar With a population of almost 7 million crowded into a large Andean basin, Santiago is a metropolis isolated by the world’s longest mountain range. If you look up from the Chilean capital’s main drag, you will see a sky pierced by a patchwork of mountains and skyscrapers – but all the more remarkable is the tremors from below: the sound of the underground. There are very few music scenes more exciting or inexplicable than what has been dubbed La Nueva Escena Chilena (“The New Chilean Scene”), a vibrant musical community converging in...

The In Between: Opening by Klara Lewis
The Swedish sound sculptor enters the backrooms with an album of unstable electronic textures united by their uncanny, reality-warping potential It all starts with a burbling texture. The sound is quilted from what appear to be typical ambient tropes: the hum of water and droplets of static pattering against whispering ash. But things are not as they seem. The cut’s quietly droning flesh, which had seemed so familiar and clear a heartbeat before, suddenly reconfigures itself into a mimicry of traffic. A dim chord pushes through the fabric. It’s muted and oblique at first, like the sound of an orchestra in the middle of a tuning ritual, heard from the outside in. But when the melody comes alive, its birth is...

Lawrence English – The Rest Is My Ghost
Lawrence English The Rest Is My Ghost Lawrence English sets out to critique nostalgia's grip on the future The Rest Is My Ghost by Lawrence English Lawrence English’s recent work often engages with philosophical and political ideas. The Rest Is My Ghost is accompanied by an extended reflection on what he terms "Acid Nostalgia": a form of nostalgia stripped of lived complexity and repurposed as a political instrument, flattening history into comforting images while limiting our ability to imagine alternative futures. It is a compelling proposition, and one that promises a record concerned less with memory itself than with the ways memory can become a mechanism of control. The music occupies a familiar territory within English's practice. Vast drones, dense brass, choral voices and slowly...
