Piano Music
Piano Music is a release with two short tracks which are based on piano recordings Orphax made at De Ruimte in Amsterdam Noord in Mid and End of Summer 2017. On this release musically Orpax breaks with his other work by using more melodic ambient sounds and focus less on the drone. It is one of his most personal works to date. The music on this 7" is about closure and trying to leave things behind, how difficult this might sometimes be. It is about making the wrong decisions and regretting those…
Burning The Threshold
A salve for folk souls and whoever needs it; Ben Chasny makes acoustic folk-pop great again. “In preparing for the first album of non-Hexadic Six Organs of Admittance music since 2012’s Ascent, Ben Chasny had a think about what he’d be saying in his own tongue for the first time in a half-decade.

In the end, what sits in our list…

End of the Night
End of the Night was conceived based around a simple, yet extremely emotionally resonant concept. Late one evening the musician and myself were listening to records at home. After many hours it got to the point where everything became completely still, the silence permeating the walls, reverberating. We agreed to listen to one more record, but what would it be? What music could answer that existential quandary of the perfect last record of the night at home? I instantly asked him to make me the …
