Osvald from Taxidermy reached out to me about 8-9 months ago and explained that they were already planning to release an EP as a follow-up to "Coin" at the beginning of the new year. I explained that this simply wasn’t possible time-wise. I’m incredibly happy that it turned out to be a possibility after all – because even though Coin was an incredibly good EP, Taxidermy has made some huge leaps with this new release that I never even imagined possible in such a short time…..

"Impending" is a complex, brooding post-rock/post-hardcore composition that significantly expands the band’s sonic palette and artistic ambitions. Throughout "Impending", the Copenhagen-based band shifts between ethereal, melancholic soundscapes and warped, abrasive passages that recall the noisy, hardcore-infused sound associated with Steve Albini and his affiliates. The track is a bold, atmospheric and emotionally charged piece that serves as a powerful introduction to what’s to come from "Let Go".

Support the artist and label by buying the track on Bandcamp: https://taxidermydk.bandcamp.com/track/impending

Thanks for listening and enjoy your weekend,

Hey friends,

Today is a day I’ve really been looking forward to: We’re releasing Zeki Jindyl’s first single, 'Only Me', from his upcoming debut album, STRETCH//RELATIONS. Big congrats to Zeki.

The track conveys an organic airiness, space, and almost spiritual atmosphere somewhat akin to David Sylvian and classic ECM releases - with high priority given to texture, sound design and the artistic integration of silence - while seamlessly integrating contemporary deconstructed RnB, subtle traces of Arabic folk, and the epic compositional avant-metal of Kayo Dot.

Due to some technical issues, the single is a few days delayed on streaming services, but you can listen to and purchase it on Bandcamp and Nina Protocol. Link in bio.

Thanks for listening.

Best,
Nikolaj

Friends,

Second post on here to kindly inform you that we have a new single release coming your way: The third and final single, 'I Thank Thee Whom I Found in the Hills' (February 21), from @Homesickness upcoming album, Anamnesis (March 21).

Fifty-three years after Sibylle Baier released her song, “I Lost Something in the Hills,” Malthe Junge, songwriter in Homesickness, was moved to pen a response: “While Baier’s song seems to lament a metaphysical object - something intangible yet significant - that she lost,” Junge explains, “my interpretation transforms this object into a presence; to me, it represents a being or entity embodying healing and care.”

Malthe is an amazing songwriter (with an incredibly talented band...). The new album brims with emotion and creativity. Subtle traces of Laughing Stock-esque post-rock, tape-based ambient experimentation, slowcore.... Besides, of course, plenty of threads to seriously hard-to-find, mystical, almost pagan-like '60s/'70s folk. Not the kind of thing that's released in Denmark every week. Highly (!) recommended.

Remember to join the release event March 21 at Christianhavns Beboerhus. Link to presave single in bio.

Best (and enjoy your weekend),
Nikolaj

First post here on Pixelfed! Feels so good to finally ditch Meta and X. Not many followers here yet, but you early birds shouldn’t miss out:

We've signed a new artist. And not just any artist, but the wonderfully talented saxophonist and singer Zeki Jindyl, whom you might know from Narcosatanicos and other projects. A seriously intriguing blend of modern R&B, nu-jazz, ambient, post-metal and Arabic folk, really proud of this one.... Think Le Cri du Caire meets Bell Witch meets Frank Ocean meets Kayo Dot. Link in bio.

Zeki's debut single "Only Me" will be released on Friday, April 14th. F*** Spotify, listen to our music on Bandcamp, Nina Protocol, or one of the moderately more decent streaming services such as Tidal or Apple Music.

Hope you all can hold it together in this continuously escalating sad and frightening global situation.....

Keep the flag flying high

Best,
Nikolaj (PCC)
