Hi friends - hope all good :)

Extremely pleased to say that next in the quiet details series, with an interpretation of immense breadth, is the eminent Swedish producer, Andreas Tilliander, with Lava.

Out now on digital and limited CD with long-form edition, six panel digipack and fine art print. Digital half-price until 10th July.

Listening Party tomorrow Thursday 2nd July 19:00 UK time - hope you can be there - free to join and all welcome x

To EU customers - the new fees are paid on my side, so along with with the IOSS, there should be nothing extra for you to pay on arrival - thank you for your support!

Andreas has been established in the highest echelons of electronica since the late nineties - amassing a vast discography across many leading labels and multiple aliases. Wide-ranging productions under his own name, Morika, TM404, Rechord and many more - on the likes of Kontra Musik, Mille Plateaux, Raster-Noton, Acid Test and his own Repeatle - has proven him time and again to be one of the most important and influential artists of recent years. Essential live performances have served to enforce this legacy.

Lava is Andreas Tilliander at his finest - endlessly experimental and wildly creative expressions, shaped into a sonic excursion of mind-expanding distinction.

As he says, this is “An exploration of southern Sweden - light, memory, and open landscapes.” And we can feel this from the very first second.

Deeply atmospheric from the start, submerged locational recordings intertwine with gradually evolving synths - creating an introduction that lays out the beginning of the path into this beautifully constructed album.

Trademark acidic pulses emerge through the clouds as the music continues on unabated, and from there we’re led by the hand through the emotions Andreas elicits from his surroundings.

His mastery of his machines is total - analogue richness, digital grunge - recordings from many sources manipulated into fascinating collages - all meld into a cohesive whole by the immense creative vision he possesses.

At times vivid and luminescent, and others dark and meditative - always profoundly reflective - this is an album of vast contemplation, perfectly executed by a master of his form.

As Andreas says:

Recorded primarily with samplers, some shitty synthesizers, field recordings from Hässleholm, old VHS tapes, and the quiet electricity of Skåne.

Special thanks to the fields and roads of Vinslöv, Vankiva, and Hässleholm.

To the shores of Åhusfältet and the streets that shaped everything. Thank you for the crystal clarity, the glow, the light, and the stillness.

Street Wise. Vinslöv. Vankiva. Hässleholm.

I feel crystal clear.

Huge thanks to Andreas, a stunning addition to the series.

The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album - originating from a photo from Andreas which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.

As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.

The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, unique and representing the music in its purest form.

Also out is the second run of the timeless qd45 Deadbeat - Kansai Botanicals

As I said on release:

Inspired during a packed tour of Japan, in his downtime Scott explored the countryside of Kyoto and the Kansai region. While there he collected the sounds and atmospheres, and this album is their musical manifestation.

A journey of hypnosis and textural bliss - vast subs meet glittering highs, held together by lush and vivid synthetics. Scott’s huge technical skill brings all these elements together in a beautifully elegant way, creating a vibrantly chromatic world that’s mesmerising at every step.
