Description

Ltd to 500 copies digipak CD Loula Yorke is a UK-based modular synthesist and educator. Her career took off in 2020 when her synth-building workshop Atari Punk Girls was recognised with a coveted Oram Award. Since then, she's released several albums, both via her own label Truxalis and also from ambient electronic specialists such as Quiet Details and Castles in Space. Yorke's hypnotically looping album Volta (2024) was chosen as The Quietus' Album of the Week and Electronic Sound's #2 Album of the Year, as well as earning acclaim from The Wire and BBC6 Music. She's played live in churches, warehouses, and arts centres from Cafe Oto to Tabakalera. Yorke has a very unique style of playing her modular synthesiser instruments, which relies on both emotional, introspective moments balanced against technical flair and evolving, cyclical patterns. For this, her debut DiN solo release, she has explored the world of water in all its myriad forms. The six separate tracks form a cohesive whole that lives and breathes, growing from beautiful ambient sections through to pulsing oscillations that shimmer and shine. Never staying still at any moment, the music takes on the elusive quality of that most precious of liquids to create an album immersed in Loula's unique sound world. This new release from Loula Yorke is another fine addition to the DiN canon and provides a showcase for an electronic musician with a unique, musical vision.
