Lanarkshire-native Auld white label has shared a hypnotic first glimpse at its new EP, Tangents, with "Chapter 1. " The single features a four-piece with a talent for mixing and an experimental sound, taking an early, ambitious, and immersive path with its opening track.
Grounded in a brooding industrial sound, Chapter 1 is an audio examination of hypnotic textures and multi-dimensional instrumentation. It begins with deep, distorted vocal samples sounding through a churning mix of thudding synth and insistent snare drum, generating a near-trance state of rhythmic drive. Music becomes both out of this world and grounded, challenging one to explore their multi-faceted makeup. With its hypnotic groove and delicate manipulation of dynamics, the track assures a lasting impact.
"Chapter 1" harmonizes with the general theme of rebirth and death in the EP, a profound examination of transformation and constant rebirth. As much as the lyrics are shrouded in abstraction, emotion, and soundscapes narrate introspection and growth, and are in perfect harmony with the theme of the EP.
The production of Tangents is also credited with defining "Chapter 1" in its unparalleled sound. With everyone contributing a track to the EP, group collaboration brings about a work that shifts between genres, including shoegaze, synth-wave, IDM, and electronica. In its experimentalism, Auld White Label stands out in its group, proving its worth in producing new and exciting works in current music.
Auld White Label's journey to this drop has been one of encouragement. Having re-established at the beginning of the pandemic, the group has developed a following for both its narrative, concept-led narrative, and its charity work, including its work with Northern Strangers. With "Chapter 1," it re-affirms its role as a bold and experimental force in the indie rock sphere, with its fan base drooling for a full drop of Tangents.
