Born and raised in Argentina, Morita Vargas is an experimental artist and producer based in Buenos Aires. She manipulates her voice through reverbs, delays and whispers, singing in a self-invented 'language'.

Heute
Vomit Heat and International Music are artistic relatives. Both come from the Ruhr area in Germany, both love psychedelic rock music and at the same time are also involved in avant-garde projects. Heute is something like a concept single, a multi-layered journey full of hints, references and danceable psychedelia. The title track is taken from the upcoming Vomit Heat album Second Skin, to be released spring 2022.
Second Skin
*Printed inner sleeve and an additional lyric sheet. A download card via Bandcamp is also included.* This is the second album by Cologne-based musician Vomit Heat. The sound and structure of this ten-part masterpiece reveal themselves abstractly in an exceedingly dense surface, in dynamic rhythms, in driving bass runs, flat guitars and synthesizers, combined with a confident and multi-faceted voice. They resound with a density that Vomit Heat created from the countless layers of layered sound he…
Gospel Et Le Râteau
Ghédalia Tazartès left us in February 2021 when we had just finalized the editing and the cover art of his new album with him. Unfortunately he will never see the finished object. This record is therefore particularly important for us. He opened his archives to us so that we could select unpublished pieces with him and organize them in two long suites. This work took almost two years (finding the pieces among dozens of sometimes very old CD-Rs, checking that these pieces had not already been pub…

Seis Elegias Para O Hemisfério Norte
They say that judging in one’s own cause is complicated, however, in this specific case, the sentence was swift and appropriate. I, Tam, in an effort to save the judicial system some time, pleaded guilty to all charges, concerning the contents of this work. These “Six Elegies For The Northern Hemisphere” were composed between 2019 and 2021, in a kind of creative retreat in Alto Minho, near Molêdo. The influences were the Atlantic Ocean at the tip of the nose, Santa Tecla’s hill in the corner …
