Today TWG closes it's doors. Seeing us off, piggy legend barbeque is releasing his latest with us, a mesh of chilled footwork, tinges of acid and a whole lot of ambient leanings; a release as kinetically moving as it is emotionally so.
Featuring chilled vaporware-by-R&B footwork cuts like 'c-a n..a d..i a_n __d..r..u-g s_t-o-r e-', sampled vox-heavy tracks like the near vocaloid 'i want to hold u but i can't', and pieces more in line with his older output ('indie.fuckboy'), 'transient portals' is eight tracks of eclectic perfection, taking a single overarching genre and fucking it every way possible. 'transient portals' takes barbeque's recorded outputs to a new level, being easily his most condensed and realised release to date, ambition realised.
We couldn't be more happy at TWG HQ to be closing on a release so strong, so in line with what were about and so well crafted. And so, with a mixture of sadness and content, we say goodbye. Thanks to everyone for listening, reading and engaging with TWG over the years ( a bigger thanks to artists is forthcoming ). The Bandcamp and Blog will remain live indefinitely so don't worry about losing releases or w/e, PEACE ~ x

TWG023| MrWimmer - An Interesting Life
With the end of TWG less than a month away, we're starting to get a little teary-eyed over here. Here to wallow with us in abject melancholy, MrWimmer is finally releasing a follow up to 'Once More Unto The Breach' with us here.
And what a follow up it is. The six tracks that make up An Interesting Life seethe with emotion from the beginning glissandos of 'Golden' all the way through to the final croons of the title track. Mixing vocals, live instrumentation and LSDJ mastery into brooding jazz-rock, MrWimmer has struck the balances between these elements perfectly, crafting a stunningly unique sound that carries the album into another stratosphere when attempting to weigh it against what else is available at the moment.
The music compliments the pining, lovesick lyrics, as much as does the sound design used throughout. From the thick sludge drudge of guitars in the desperate 'Your Way', to the euphoric synth solos of 'Study' and the driving drumwork of 'How Long', every minuscule aspect of An Interesting Life has been throught over and perfected, and the result is truly remarkable.

01. Golden
02. Your Way

TWG022| ocean palace - UN PEACE SUMMIT
With our closure imminent, TWG thought it was high time we stuck out a release by one of our favourite masters of subtly, dissonance, and lo-fi emotion; ocean palace is bringing his incredible talents in this twelve track opus UN PEACE SUMMIT.
Tonal poetics seen in 'kingdoms of madness', 'ur cute', and 'love and solitude' play alongside the frantic dissonant beauty of 'a lucid surge of light', 'creating gem quality stones in a wood stove', and 'an ocean of glass and starlight', forming a cohesive and multifaceted exploration of lo-fi melody.
Ukulele samples by Hunter Irving in 'so i married a slime' and drum contributions on 'creating...' and 'a lucid...' by ex-TWGer Guardia (not to mention full compositions by other artists re-arranged by ocean palace) give UN PEACE SUMMIT another layer of depth and range to the already diverse set of sounds. The production is minimal too, taken directly from source the understated meanderings of track speak from themselves slowly, giving the album a sense of growing over frequent re-listens across both the ambient and the jazz influenced tracks alike.
Enough hyperbole; some of the best lo-fi and affective chip in the scene. We're very very happy to be putting this out! PS, download comes with two bonus tracks!
Get it here
Tracklist:
01. a lucid surge of light
02. kingdoms of madness
03. elf girlz
