Shortcuts

“Strand EP”

Shortcuts – Strand EP

Shortcuts went on a beach holiday! They came back with an EP in their luggage, which is tellingly titled “Strand”.

It is sometimes about “lying in the sun” or “swimming in the sea”, “journey” in the literal and figurative sense is a recurring motif. But anyone who expects a kind of vacation report set to music or even concept music is thinking too short-sightedly.

There are a few things different on “Strand” than on the previous two releases. The record is not only the most electronic, but also the most guitar-heavy in the band’s history to date. The music is also much more straightforward this time, which brings the duo closer to their live sound. “Strand” is also the first Shortcuts record with completely German lyrics. Another special feature is that Jule does not play drums on any of the songs, as usual, but guitar.

The rest remains the same. On “Strand” Shortcuts again live up to their name: you can hear short, concise songs in which nothing more is said and played than necessary.

“Aural Vault: Chapter One”

Various – Aural Vault: Chapter One

In October 2023, a number of artists submitted tracks for a compilation project intended to serve as a time capsule, set to release exactly a year later. While some artists drew connections between their work from the 1980s and the present day, others included messages aimed at the future, meant to be read in 2024. This project served as an exploration of timelessness, with each artist’s perspective on their work being deeply personal and not easily shared with the outside world. Their inspirations varied — some drew hope from the past, while others tackled their fears. For a few, it turned into an exercise in nihilism, as they stripped their work of all meaning to reflect their views on the world, offering a glimpse into their personalities. And, others expressed a desire for drastic changes to make the world safer.

“To Be Found Again”

LR Friberg – To Be Found Again
This is a (semi-)modular tribute to Virginia Woolf, made entirely with analog synths: the Moog Mother-32 and Moog Subharmonicon. I also used two Zoom MS-70CDR+ effect pedals, Zoom H1n and Mackie Mix5. The final touches were added on my laptop using Valhalla Shimmer and iZotope Ozone for post-processing.

Many thanks to all artists who make this compilation something very special with their track.

In the symphony of a distant world, seasons were played in chords.
Spring arrived as a light, gentle hum, its notes shimmering through
the air like a distant echo. Summer roared with vibrant,
esonant chords, filling the sky with heat and harmony.
Autumn fell in rich, slow minor scales, leaves swirling
in its fading echoes. Winter, a quiet, hollow hum,
pulsed through frozen air, each note sharp and distant.
The planet turned, its seasons woven in endless cycles
of sound—chords stretching through time, echoes bouncing
softly across the horizon, never fading completely.

“Machine Magick EP”

Cinnabar Club – Machine Magick EP

Cinnabar Club has returned with a four-song EP titled “Machine Magick”. The tracks have a menacing industrial atmosphere and strong motorik rhythms—first energising and then hypnotic—with a dose of satire and humour in the vocal performances.

The vocals and music evoke scenes reminiscent of a beleaguered dictator delivering a last frantic address from a barricaded radio station as ominous synthesisers and mechanical clangs signal the impending chaos. Cinnabar Club uses the format of electronic dance music to create a dramaturgy in which the keen listener can get lost.

Kevin Miller – initial concourse aftermath
The music heard on this recording consists of what the subtitle suggests; solo guitar improvisations from 7-24-24.
All of the music is completely improvised, and was recorded using a few different basic sound setups from virtual amp plugins.
The titles, for the most part, have nothing to do with the music on any level.
