Su3aad Welcome to More Solar mare, a voyage that will transcend you immediately into a new dimension, with a killer intro track that stunts you with powerful sounds and an outer-spcae/inthedesert riff that I haven't heard like in a long time.
Favorite track: Los Animales.

I, like, know people here now That lady with the dog You just know people with dogs and you know their dogs better than them That's still people Dogs are people You as a vegan should know that I mean, I make, a very, specific, differentiation for a reason What? I don't eat people You don't eat people? People eat people, if people are dogs, if dogs are people, then people eat people, which they don't Isn't that the argument? That animals are people too? No, people are people too Animals are animals too but if animals are people, then people shouldn't eat people People shouldn't eat people, even if animals aren't people We should be differentiating the difference like, between... We shouldn't be saying that people are people When people are not people, people are animals And animals are people if people are animals And animals are also animals because people are also animals People are definitely animals but animals are not people I'm sorry, I don't see the correlation there

Think I saw you blinking in the crowd Think I heard you blinking in the crowd you always had your own way of standing out I saw you blink in the crowd Heard the movement so loud If only, if only I could capture the beauty of that ricochet Dreamed that I was coming to Tokyo Called, said 'meet me at Shibuya crossing - be there' cos I knew you I'd know you at Shibuya crossing - catch you later Woke on Tatami alone with the birds of Camberwell, home Woke on Tatami alone I was so close I didn't know I was so faceless I'm looking but I look so faceless There's five thousand miles of faces How would I know you (There are no borders, just faces) Dreamt that I was coming to Tokyo waiting, waiting with Hachikō, waiting

about

More Solar Mare is a short album by Vivian le Vavasseur. Born and bred in Jersey in the Channel Islands, Viv le Vav cut their teeth as half of London art-pop band TEDDY with songs Happy Tim and Primate acclaimed by various outlets including Dummy Mag, N.M.E. and Guardian playlist.

More Solar Mare sits somewhere between song collection and ambient soundtrack, exploring both through an exploration of nostalgia and production value. “Inaccuracies and variable production quality are some of my favourite things when it comes to my relationship with music”, they say. “With More Solar Mare I was chasing those moments you remember when the CD scratches and creates a little loop in your classic album or where you hear a bootlegged first demo of a favourite song and really connect with its raw emotion.”

There is certainly an essence of nostalgia on the recording, with phone audio conversations and location ambience mixed together with high fidelity synths and analogue drum parts. The opening drama and intensity of opening tracks Los Animales and Melissa subdue to the mesmerising new-wave synth ambience of Dogs are people and Tom Falle says, ‘it’s taking a long time’. Varispeed effected vocals, off-kilter beats and harsh cuts between tracks and moments evoke James Blake, Kendrick Lamar, and the mixtape feels of Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia Ultra.

More Solar Mare continues with the Lo-Fi bedroom producer aesthetic of le Vav’s first full length debut ’S now and was produced entirely from Raum 3058, a small production studio in a former Stasi ammunitions warehouse in far east Berlin. Vivian le Vavasseur is based between industrial Berlin and a yurt they call home in south London.
