Qu'il nous entende, haut et fort, et nous en tienne rigueur, s'il le faut, c'est le plus cher de nos souhaits.
Let him hear us — loud and clear — and hold it against us, if he must; it is our most heartfelt wish.
We have become… Accountants! Yes, now bookkeepers of the all-too-rare sonic appearances of Phoenelai.
It takes little more than that for our senses to go on high alert at the approach of any new release, however minute.
SourceStructures — a split EP and yet another reason to pique our curiosity at the edge of a delicate exercise, where all too often, the discerning listener — that would be you — lets their attention slip in the final comparison of the parties involved.
Ether Research, the counterpart in this venture, is no rabbit pulled from a magician’s hat either — an uncompromising discography spanning over twenty years, much like the captivating label-project :::kai/ros:::
If we’re in Houston (USA) in that late May 2025, we’re also deep in the heart of a “split” that is a split in name only — SourceStructures has no need of NASA’s help to reach the symbiotic orbital position it now holds.
Aaron Mills (Ether Research) and Pizo Meyer (Phoenelai) both display the same unwavering precision. SourceStructures doesn’t pretend anything, it simply claims the necessary recognition demanded by a memory still alive in the dim and winding corridors of Industrial Records.
It has become illusory to want to rewrite a history that deserves only more respect — and far less of the overly interpretative affectation that, regrettably, still prevails.
This discreet release will appeal to those who refuse to forget.
