We’ve linked up with Conna Haraway’s co:clear to release the debut album, and our first vinyl, of Italy-based artist CHANTSSSS.
Shyness implies something subtle, intricate and ethereal – but it also demands your attention. Over 10 tracks of spacious, sub-aquatic ambience, CHANTSSSS pulls you deep into his vaporous sound world. The songs themselves, a blend of ambient pop, chamber music and pulsing low end rhythms, feel cloaked in mystery. Layers of reverb and zonked vocals float in the atmosphere, moving between and through one another, mist on mist. It’s not necessarily a quiet record, the low end can shake a room if you turn the volume up, but it does feel extremely intimate – proof that some art speaks loudest in its quietest moments.
“Jus woke up” made in collaboration with Ben Bondy
Mastered by Ike Zwanikken
Cover and design is by Lucas Dupuy
