Untitled (To Describe You) [OST]

by Space Afrika

supported by

Val Clipp induced melancholia and warped emotions through daily life in an urban environment. having this on a loop felt like indulging in a faint memory. the vividness lies in repetition. Favorite track: Version 3.

Jascha Narveson Fragments of dream-like lost sounds. Such a beautiful release - music definitely from the same spaces as Burial's ambient interludes, Twin Peaks, Susumu Yokota, and others. Favorite track: Version 2.

about

Space Afrika follow last year's heartbreaking x perception-bending mixtape "hybtwibt?" with an anxious patchwork of drill bass, reflective musique concrete and after-hours surrealism >> singular deep headspace exploration to file alongside Mark Leckey, Perila, Burial or Klein.

Assembled to accompany a short film from Manchester-born visual artist, poet and filmmaker Tibyan Mahawah Sanoh, Joshua Inyang and Joshua Tarelle’s newest is a cinematic audit of identity and ancestry. In the film, Sanoh works hard to visually illustrate an honest and vulnerable picture of her soul. Inyang and Tarelle respond by doing the same with sound, collaging disparate elements together in a way that should be familiar to anyone who heard "hybtwibt?" or their jawdropping RA mix from earlier this year.

Warped field recordings, overdriven rhythmic pressure, syrupy pads and disorienting vocals are cut and pasted over each other, generating a living, breathing study of the duo's Northern working class Black British reality. Unlike the duo's acclaimed "Somewhere Decent To Live" full-length, elements mutate and transform: mushy noise bends into street sounds, haunted vocals into echoing drill melancholia and muffled howls into shattered digital remnants.

The main event is the full 10-minute soundtrack, that's layered with Sanoh's disorienting and deeply personal poetry and echoes Mark Leckey's recent "In This Lingering Twilight Sparkle". Then the EP is bumped up with three sketches from the same sessions, two of which never made it to the final mixdown. 'Version 3' is a particular highlight, pasting heartbreaking piano and blowtorched vocal loops over winding drill bass > sounds like Burial remixing Unknown T into pure syrup.

A truly great ambient record. Deep, intricate, transporting soundscapes that are somehow both eerie and comforting. ASMR pops and clicks ricochet across the channels as gauzy pads float just out of reach. Perfect late night liminal space music. Teedubyabee
