PREMIERE | Shonen Bat - Sayonara [La Forge] 2021 by 432Hz Social Club published on 2021-09-16T21:57:09Z Artist: https://soundcloud.com/shonen-bat Track: Sayonara Label: https://soundcloud.com/laforgemusique Format:, Digital, LP Release date: 23/9/21 Purchase: https://laforgemusique.bandcamp.com/ La Forge Musique thrilled to announce the release of it's resident Shonen Bat’s first album. Following his involvement in label compilations and a few brief incursions across the Channel for thier friends at Corrupt Data (see his EP “Shades of Disruption”) and GODDEZZ (see V/A “ON+ON+ON”), the 28-year-old producer from Reims eventually reaches the mark of the long-form, with flying colours indeed. In “Infinite Disorder”, he deftly conjugates techno influences, breakbeat, global club and electro with his distinctive rhythmic signature as well as outstanding futuristic aesthetic. In twelve tracks, Shonen Bat demonstrates perfect mastery of sound design and narration in a fifty-minute opus with strains of solar punk, which resonates both on the dancefloor and your couch. An intertwinement of celestial voices, luxuriating pads and synthetic waterfalls with sharp beats and distorted bass precedes moments when the producer playfully stretches time with more ambient phases, before going for it again. Among the top-flight tracks, you will find an ethereal anthem in “Artefacts”, speedy techno in “Western Nylon Fields”, and feisty breakbeats in “Automata”. In this emotional roller coaster, the album constantly takes us back and forth between melancholy and euphory. Despite this duality symptomatic of our times, “Infinite Disorder” is undeniably a record of boundless optimism, at times bitter but always radiant. Take it as a kind of journal of a young raver who’s found his way through the philosophical values of a global rave culture, without borders, and humanistic. “This “Infinite Disorder” represents all that inner turmoil I’ve experienced during the lockdowns. The idea was to process these complex, sometimes violent emotions into a beautiful, singular musical object.” - Shonen Bat Genre Premiere Comment by Subsism ouiouioui 2021-09-23T16:48:25Z Comment by Lebird <3 2021-09-20T15:01:45Z
