We are delighted to welcome multidisciplinary artist HANS CASTRUP back for his third album release on Submarine Broadcasting Company, CONSTANT IMBALANCES V. CONSTANT IMBALANCES V is the latest instalment in Hans’ series; the 1st and 2nd parts of Constant Imbalances each consist of a book of poems and graphics, part 3 was the acclaimed album released last year on Submarine Broadcasting Company and part 4 was a series of paintings created as a response to Part 3. Part 5 comprises eight pieces of abstract electronic music, and as listeners of CASTRUP would expect, all are uncompromising in their delivery. Beauty and violence compete with each other while tranquillity and danger co-exist, ever changing and never settling. CASTRUP’s music asks questions of the listener and is unapologetic in its goal of making the listener work CONSTANT IMBALANCES V is CASTRUP’s 17th solo album since 1982. Born in 1957 and working as independent artist on the fields of painting, music, photography, video, graphics and text since graduating as MA at the University of Osnabrück, CASTRUP describes CONSTANT IMBALANCES V as a counterbalance to Part 3: “This time, orchestral noise and quieter atmospheres, harmony and disharmony, tension and relaxation meet in large spaces, collide and lose each other.”

Elsehow – Patterns CD
Patterns is the debut album from Elsehow (singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Piero Delux). It’s a beautiful collection of original songs that range from art-pop through to synth pop, plus three covers of material by artists who Piero cites as major influences (Talk Talk, Brian Eno and Scott Walker). It’s an album ideal for the summer with lots of shifting, shimmering sounds and Piero’s plaintive vocals, but it’s definitely bittersweet with minor keys and songs of love and loss.

Draaier – The Town That Was Murdered CD
The Town That Was Murdered is Draaier’s love/hate letter to their home town of Jarrow, an a homage to the book written by Red Ellen Wilkinson. Forgotten at best, actively dismantled at worst, Jarrow is a signifier of the treatment of Northern industrial towns. Pitch black in places but not without glimmers of hope, there is a violence and frustration that runs underneath the surface, a resentment at being ostracised.

Gazawat – Ecstasy of Saint Teresa CD
1. I saw in his hand a long spear of gold, and at the iron’s point there seemed to be a little fire. (07:20)
2. He appeared to me to be thrusting it at times into my heart, and to pierce my very entrails. (05:45)
3. When he drew it out, he seemed to draw them out also, and to leave me all on fire with a great love of God. (04:04)
4. The pain was so great, that it made me moan. (07:12)
5. And yet so surpassing was the sweetness of this excessive pain, that I could not wish to be rid of it. (05:24)
6. The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. (05:55)
7. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual; though the body has its share in it. (05:29)
8. It is a caressing of love so sweet which now takes place between the soul and God, that I pray God of His goodness to make him experience it who may think that I am lying. (05:08)SKU: GZW002 -

The German Ocean – The German Ocean CD
“Once upon a time, we looked outward”…. The German Ocean formed in late 2020, a partnership between Darren j Holloway of SINNEN and Gavin Martin. It very quickly became apparent that the sounds and shapes coming out of this pairing were a significant departure from those of the SINNEN collective, harking back to Darren’s days as producer of filmic ambient mini-scores but with a fresh, harsher, darker edge. There was something timeless in the mix, something oceanic in the sound, moments and phases reminding the listener of a Great War era submarine chugging ghost-like just below periscope depth. The eight songs on this eponymous debut formed, floated, swam and dived through the cold waters of The North Lands, perhaps hinting at a reminder that things were not always so introspective as they seem now, and that maybe our better futures lie somewhere beyond renamed borders and sea masses. Welcome (back) to The German Ocean.
