Moving Images

130701

    Emil Friis’ new album, 'Moving Images', his debut solo release for FatCat's classical imprint 130701, is a testament to the human condition and the things that bring us together as a species. 'Moving Images' is inspired by, and seeks to inspire, movements of the human spirit and the stories we share through music, words, art, and film.

    The album spans a diverse range of instrumentation and emotions; somber chamber pieces ('For Goodbyes'), ominous yet hopefully hypnotic ambient ('Zero'), softly touched solo piano ('Dancing'), poetic and playful flute and synths ('Through Air') and tension laced cinematic strings, synths and piano ('An Upward Motion').

    'Moving Images' is also a collaborative project between Friis and selected filmmakers. Each of the 15 album tracks will be accompanied by video work. Friis explains: "I wanted to contribute to dissemination and perception of modern classical releases by inviting filmmakers to interpret the music through their own vision”. The filmmakers, including Kevin Brooks, Shaun Hart, Morgan Jon Fox and Jonathan Meyers to date, were given creative freedom to interpret pieces that most resonated with them.

    Esthesis

    130701

      NY-based cellist/composer Clarice Jensen’s third LP, ‘Esthesis’ is a deep + gorgeous new work conceptually structured around the emotional and harmonic spectrum and the phenomenon of chromesthesia – a condition whereby sound involuntarily evokes an experience of colour, shape and movement.

      Following up her critically-acclaimed 2020 LP ‘The experience of repetition as death’, ‘Esthesis’ sees Jensen expanding her oeuvre + introducing a wider instrumental range, including the piano of Timo Andres and the voices of Laura Lutzke, Francesca Federico and Emma Broughton. Mixed by Francesco Donadello, it is released a week ahead of a UK/EU tour supporting Dustin O’Halloran.

      Jensen has recorded + performed with a host of artists including Jóhann Jóhannsson, Max Richter, Nick Cave, Björk, Stars of the Lid, Dustin O’Halloran, Nico Muhly, Taylor Swift, Michael Stipe, the National + many others.

      Cover of Sings Reign Rebuilder - 20th Anniversary Edition by Set Fire To Flames.

      Set Fire To Flames

      Sings Reign Rebuilder - 20th Anniversary Edition

      130701

        Unavailable on vinyl for over 20 years, ‘Sings Reign Rebuilder’ was the stunning 2001 debut LP from Set Fire To Flames - a sprawling, adventurous 13-piece Montreal collective, including seven members of Godspeed you black emperor! plus others from bands like A Silver Mt Zion, Fly Pan Am, etc.

        The sole reason FatCat’s 130701 imprint was founded, the LP remains an incredible and unique document. Recorded over a five-day period in a rickety old house in a communal atmosphere of long-duration improvised creative activity, operating on no sleep / confinement / intoxication, it was brilliantly edited to mix post-rock guitar-scapes; extended passages of scratchy, freeform improv and concrete clatterings; atmospheric location recordings; stirring, chamber string arrangements; deep/sparse drones; and Kraut-like, heavily rhythmic workouts.

        Described on its release by TimeOut as “one of the most broodingly beautiful, dramatically emotional, hauntingly evocative albums likely to ever scrape at your soul… This record will kill you”; and by Pitchfork as “a gripping testament to the power of emotional expression in music... a marvelously inventive and powerful album.”  Perhaps the most dynamic and adventurous record to come out of the early 2000s Montreal scene around Godspeed you black emperor!.

        Long-awaited first ever reissue of a classic album, which sold out of its original (only) pressing within weeks of its release on 15th October 2001 and has been unavailable since.

        Remastered at Dubplates & Mastering and issued in a heavyweight black vinyl double LP edition, including lavish gatefold packaging, 20th Anniversary-branded OBI strip and original 24-page 7” x 7” booklet with full colour print and eight tracing-paper pages plus full digital download coupon.

        Cover of Speechless by Resina.

        Resina

        Speechless

        130701

          Warsaw-based cellist/composer Resina (Karolina Rec) returns with a first standalone album in three years, taking a big step forward on a bold and brilliantly expansive record that explores ideas about language, the voice and the unpredictability of nature. Recorded by Resina and Michał Kupicz, with striking additional mixing & production work by Daniel Rejmer (Ben Frost, Björk, Foals, Girls Names), ‘Speechless’ is fluid and muscular, with wide dynamics and a dark and powerful dramatic weight. Across nine tracks, Resina’s cello, voice and electronics are set alongside drummer Mateusz Rychlicki, the 23-piece 441 Hz choir, with Magdalena Gajdzica playing flute (track 1) and Michał Fojcik adding field recording & sound design (track 4).

          Removed from their regular, more refined classical contexts, cello and choir are subjected to electronic processing, expanded and deployed in a swirling, visceral sound-world, sometimes pushed into distortion and anchored alongside Rychlicki’s driving drumming. An amalgamation of noise, rock, ambient, choral and classical elements, ‘Speechless’ shifts from gossamer beauty to glowering threat; from pulsing minimalism to full-bore propulsive blow-outs. As well as moments of great beauty, it is shot through with shrieks and howls, cavernous bass drops, sirens and sudden pitch shifts.

          The Experience Of Repetition As Death

          130701

            Brooklyn-based cellist Clarice Jensen’s gorgeous sophomore album and first for FatCat’s pioneering 130701 imprint, ‘The experience of repetition as death’ was recorded and mixed by Francesco Donadello at Vox-Ton studios in Berlin in late 2018 and mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri. Following up her hugely impressive 2018 debut, ‘For This From That Will Be Filled’, which included collaborations with Jóhann Jóhannsson and Michael Harrison, all of the material on this new album was written and performed by Clarice alone and all of the sounds on it were created with a cello through a variety of effects and effects pedals.

            Clarice has recorded and performed for a host of stellar artists including Jóhann Jóhannsson, Max Richter, Björk, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave, Jónsi, Stars of the Lid, Dustin O’Halloran, Joanna Newsom, Nico Muhly, Dirty Projectors, Frightened Rabbit and Beirut. Receiving glowing critical acclaim, both her previous releases made it into Pitchfork’s End Of Year charts.

            For fans of Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Gudnadottir, Stars of the Lid, Max Richter, Pauline Oliveros, Harold Budd, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Sarah Davachi, Resina, Maria W Horn, Ellen Arkbro, Kali Malone, Christina Vantzou, Abul Mogard, Galya Bisengalieva, Richard Skelton, GAS, Steve Reich.

            Red Sun Through Smoke

            130701

              Vancouver-based singer/composer Ian William Craig returns with a brilliant and powerfully emotive new album. His first for a long while to be centred around the piano - and also one of his most pared back - the record was made through an intense period of personal loss and environmental catastrophe.

              ‘Red Sun Through Smoke’ was recorded over two cataclysmic weeks in August 2018 in Kelowna, whilst the city was encircled by the forest fires which, under a warming climate, now regularly rage through British Columbia in summertime. With smoke engulfing the landscape, it was recorded from start to finish in the living room of a small house owned by his grandfather, who was moved into palliative care and tragically died halfway through the recording, his lungs filled with fluid as a result of the smoke.

              Forged in trauma and an intense, bewildering slew of mixed emotions, Ian William Craig has created an album of incredible beauty, sadness and depth. ‘Red Sun Through Smoke’ is a profoundly moving album, a standout record in a prolific body of work that shows no sign of faltering.

              Like Water Through The Sand - Indies Only Bonus Disc Edition

              130701

              Stunning debut album from this award-winning French pianist/ composer currently living in London, introduces a striking new voice in the modern classical genre. This is one of two new records which mark the relaunch of FatCat's pioneering 130701 imprint ahead of next years 15th Anniversary.

              A collection of new compositions meshing piano, string quartet and electronics, the album is a wide-ranging yet cohesive collection, showcasing an immediately evident sense of class in the quality of the instrumental playing and the beautifully nuanced sound design, marshalled masterfully throughout by its creator.

              Shifting from solo piano pieces to stirring chamber pieces and foregrounding explorative electronic enhancements, the album is broad-ranged and playful yet cohesive and fully formed. The sound design is subtle, dynamic, adventurous and precise. Emilie’s string arrangements were immaculately played by soloists from the London Contemporary Orchestra (one of the UK’s most innovative and respected ensembles, who've collaborated with Johnny Greenwood, Arcade Fire, Jimmy Page, Foals, etc). ‘Like Water Through the Sand’ is gorgeously detailed and hugely impressive, and will appeal to fans of Max Richter, Johann Johannsson, Nils Frahm, Hauschka, etc.
