Nordic pop diva KARIN PARK of ÅRABROT adds her ethereal, mournful voice and keys to the primordial sound of legendary electronic pioneer LUSTMORD for this sublime and poignant collaboration. ALTER is a ritual of our times.

‘Penelope Three’ is the third and final instalment of the Australian-born Brighton-based musician’s trilogy. She completes her ambitious and other-worldly triptych with an album of healing, on which she looks to release herself from fear and into love, evoked in Penelope’s signature ambient gothic dreamlands that are equal parts shoegaze pop and surrealist soundscapes.

Julianna Barwick is a composer, vocalist and producer who makes deep, reflective compositions out of the human voice. Over the past decade and a half, she’s honed an intuitive approach to music, built on improvisation and a close affinity to a couple of trusted items of gear. She spins engrossing, expansive universes out of a single idea. Her fourth album, Healing Is A Miracle, on Ninja Tune, marks another distinctive meditation on sound, reverb and the voice.

'Birthmarks' is a record that hunts for ways in which to revisit and caress wounds left by the memory of their scars. In its mystery and attentiveness to the art of alchemy and the world of the unseen, it is a journey through textural fog and feral density that gives way to passages of voracious sonic exorcism and poetic healing. Its eight songs traverse planes of visceral physicality, stark tender space, and breathtaking introspective beauty.
