[SHAMPOO BOY, the experimental band featuring CHRA, plays live in Kobe on 4/14!] CHRA drops a new album on 〈EDITIONS MEGO〉! Frigid dark ambience that pulls you deep into the inner world.
On her latest release, chra aka Christina Nemec is sketching out a psychogeographical map, that guides you to the border of the internal and external world - 'on a fateful morning' lets you enter a sphere where the imaginary and the subliminal cross. Evoking abstract images that transcend reality, chra installs an autarchic time-and-space-continuum of vague, nocturnal beauty. Pastose bass drones, airy ambient synths and processed audio-samples form a hypnotic stream that lets you enter an altered state of mind. By subtly intertwining musical and non musical sounds chra is weaving an intensely atmospheric, poetic tableau of emptied spaces left to our imagination. It's the pulse of arcane memories that is filling these sonic landscapes, operating deep within our subconscious.
'on a fateful morning' is haunting music to play in the dark - conspirative, uncanny, with a dystopian smack.

A new album from Christina Nemec aka CHRA, who also plays in the experimental band Shampoo Boy alongside 〈EDITIONS MEGO〉 boss PITA aka Peter Rehberg! Incidentally, Shampoo Boy will perform in Japan on 4/14 at the Hyogo Performing Arts Center, presented by Ryo Murakami's Depth of Decay. This is her second album for Mego, delivering frigid dark ambience that evokes a dry, dark, sprawling landscape. You'll want to play this at a volume loud enough to feel those pleasantly piercing low frequencies in your body. (Original Japanese text by Hino)
