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!

TWG021| Spaceman Fantastiques - C.O.M.P.A.S.S
Nearly three years in the making, TWG is overly estatic to finally be bringing this huge album by Spaceman Fantastiques to you as part of our final string of releases.
Almost instantenously it's clear the long writing and recording progress was not wasted; full band progressive rock with math rock tinges flood over 'SW', hauntingly pretty electronic interludes like 'WSW' act as tonal poems, and tracks like the multi-movement 'N' rock through a plethora of ideas with the ease of a compositional wizard, emotional and breathtaking simultaneously.
Whilst lodged almost in sweeping progressive rock grandoise, 'C.O.M.P.A.S.S' ducks and dives between hundreds of influences, hitting each with intent and reasoning, a patchwork of complex but reasoned diversity that, when pulled back from, reveals a deep and diverse tapestry of music. Quite possibly one of the largest, in both scope and ambition, releases the scene will have seen in years, and certainly the biggest to ever be hosted here on TWG. From the piano, choral voices and pulsing bass medley of 'NE', through the noise-laden and immedate 'SE' and the squealing-solos-into-restrained-crawl of 'W', the journey within 'C.O.M.P.A.S.S' is laden with incredible moments.
