Ephemeral Arts

LATEST RELEASES

Rubin Kodheli "Escape" (EP / EA0010 / 2019). Composer and cellist Rubin Kodheli joins the Ephemeral Arts fold to release “Escape”, a cello suite in 3 parts. This genre-bending piece spans modern classical, ambient and perhaps even a bit of post-rock so be prepared for a journey through personal introspection, revelation and eventually solace as expressed via Kodheli’s cello, live looping and many effects that veer from delicate Eno-esque moments of system-generated fragility to roaring riff-based crescendos that invoke the apex of Godspeed You Black Emperor! or Sigur Ros as if filtered through Penderecki. LISTEN

Bob Oxblood "Trash Mansion" (SINGLE / EA0009 / 2019). Brooklyn's Oxblood returns to Ephemeral Arts for this summery reflection of laid back heady days shored up with textural guitars, affecting synths and Oxblood’s characteristically winsome vocals. A mix of Nick Drake through the lens of Deerhunter. LISTEN

Dead Heart Bloom "Run Like Spies" (Single / EA0008 / 2019). Dead Heart Bloom returns with new single “Run Like Spies”, a dark twist where foreboding piano and anxious vocals presage dark synth grooves and angular guitar melodies. Continuing the musical path tread where last falls “State of Mind” EP left off, the band expands their sonic palette seamlessly blending machines with organic instrumentation to create timeless textures that lie somewhere between a more turbulent version of MGMT or Strfkr and the murkier edges of Depeche Mode. LISTEN

Tiger Mountain "Structures" (EP / EA0007 / 2019). The electronic collective returns with 5 tracks that span the aural canvas from industrial beats and hypnotic bass lines to 4-on-the-floor grooves to cerebral transmissions. Swiss artist Marena Whitcher provides guest vocals. LISTEN
