Lifted from CIRCLE, 'First Departure' is intended as a jarring break from a recurring pattern of stagnancy and decay. An appendix of sorts to [DIS]COMFORT EP, CIRCLE uses a hyperprocessed and stretched version of the track of the same name as a foundational prompt for several ambient experiments and improvised "departures". It is a deeper dive into circular thinking and habits, and that tug of war that so often occurs between what we want to do and what we actually do (or don't do). Dedicated to anyone that feels stuck in a rut. May you find your final departure.
Nørsa° is a vibrant, cut-up sound collage that pulses with the restless experimental spirit of Clelia's San Beulah side project from 2023. It weaves together chopped and reassembled fragments from previous San Beulah tracks echoes of their signature lo-fi dream haze, angular rhythms, textured field recordings, and ethereal vocal manipulations then layers in unexpected "surprise xtra chromosounds" for added glitchy sparkle, chromatic dissonance, and playful disruption. The result feels like a feverish remix diary: fragmented yet hypnotic, nostalgic while pushing into weirder, more chaotic territory. It preserves the intimate, DIY bedroom-electronic haze and subtle emotional undercurrents of the project's Fall 2023 origins (think tracks like those in playlists such as "ancestral" or "Memories of Life Before"), but re-contextualizes them through aggressive chopping, tape-like degradation effects, sudden sonic interruptions, and bursts of almost celebratory weirdness. A chopped coagulation of San Beulah's dream-weirdo back catalog, spiked with surprise extra chromosounds turning intimate lo-fi sketches into a glittering, disorienting, extra-special sonic fever collage.
