In a recent interview with The Quietus, Grimes' Claire Boucher talks about how hard it is to actually talk about music sometimes - how music has no inherent qualities, and so our vocabulary often falls short. “Like, what? Loud, quiet, dark, bright, soft," she says, "they’re not actually words to describe music: they’re metaphors. It’s like talking about things that are intangible." So it is with this new release from London-via-Bergamo producer and songwriter Summer Ghost, which we're premiering below.
"Catechism/Muzzle" is two tracks of instrumental magnificence that can best be described in associative feelings and imagery rather than adjectives. Hardstyle, experimental, industrial - sure, but to me it sounds like something beautiful being destroyed, or finding beauty in something destructive. It's like watching a natural disaster in slow motion, or seeing the earth explode from space. Featuring sounds previously unheard by human ears - in "Catechism", for example, there's a noise that's either a growl from a large animal or someone aggressively slurping a drink through a straw - it's a thrilling experience whose melodic sensibility rescues itself from being too challenging.
Have a listen.
