From a 4x5m room stacked with vinyl, ashtrays, magazine drafts, and semi functional synths, Stompin n Risin rises again-reincarnated but not revised.
Originally a spontaneous ritual from the days of blunted dreaming and one-eye open ambition, this track first snuck into the world under a different name (Jacobite Fool, courtesy of those tasteful Belgians at International Feel) and went on to
become a cult curio. Now, it's back-rebuilt with the very same machines that once
hummed beside the mattress, but still left to run wild like they used to.
The rest of the EP stays close to that spirit: music as lived experience, jammed with
friends, lovers, and ex-boyfriends (literally). Lucy's Electricity is a shimmering
daydream, born from a jam with Daniele Labbate, recharged by a whirlwind
wedding, and soundtracked by a bittersweet guitar line courtesy of the groom's
bride's ex. A track for walking into churches-or out of time entirely. A personal
favorite of the artist, and maybe the only funeral anthem with this much static joy.
One takes things inward-made with the Moog One for open-air yoga sessions
during the era of no-dancing-but-still-dreaming. It's a sun-dappled, slow-motion
dancefloor where breath and bass align. Love 2 Love closes the circle: an
unearthed jam with long-time collaborator and platonic supermodel Hanne
Uekermann, revived from hard drive purgatory and infused with new life. A love
song to the music, the moments, and the friendship behind it.
This record isn't just a collection of tracks. It's a lived-in photo album, a soft pulse
through oceanic memory, a reminder that all sound comes from life, and maybe all
life comes from sound.
