Respite Levity For The Nameless Ghost In Crisis

Description

Respite levity for the nameless ghost in crisis, or rL4nGc, is the third album from Colin Self, following the acclaimed Siblings (2018) and its companion EP Orphans (2019). In rL4nGc, the music of the Berlin and New York-based artist, composer and puppeteer moves fluidly between soaring and unsettling pop vocals, ethereal experimental electronics, and pounding dancefloor rhythms. Limitless radiant beauty and inescapable terror are one and the same. Incorporating Colin Self’s puppetry background, and drawing inspiration from a conscious exile that allowed the artist to enter into conversation with lost souls on other planes of existence, rL4nGc is an integrated vision of the artist’s eclectic practice. Singing in Polari, a forgotten form of sociolect used by queer subcultures for centuries to escape detection, Colin Self speaks to our departed teachers and friends, and the rest of us ready to commune with strange spirits. Mastered by Heba Kedry. For fans of Perfume Genius, Björk, Holly Herndon, Psychic TV, Oneohtrix Point Never, Lyra Pramuk, Bat For Lashes, SOPHIE, Talk Talk.
