Patience

Written, produced and mixed by Mattias Lagerkvist in Möljeryd, Sweden. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Art & design by Luca Schenardi. P 2019 Patience C Ekolali.

Genom Grundet is the latest outing by Swedish analogue explorer Ekolali, and our inaugural release.

A pulsing, entrancing study in sustain and release that washes over in ecstatic waves throughout it’s 35 minute duration, Genom Grundet is a shimmering summation of Ekolali’s approach and an auspicious blueprint for the label.

Recorded on a modest setup at his almost-off-grid compound in rural Möljeryd, Sweden, Genom Grundet (Through The Shallows) gently bubbles with a sampled stream, baked tape delay, droning broken organ and pitch-shifted rhythm, blooming with vocoder chants and klassic kosmische guitar as the track unfolds. Repetitive to the point of rapture, Genom Grundet reveals it’s wonders over repeat meditations.

Mattias Lagerkvist has previously issued similarly potent musical balms as Ekolali via Bakk and Not Not Fun.
