Joining our roster is BEAT WKND, a project formed from percussive attacks and adrenaline. Sonically, BEAT WKND punches hard. A toolkit of heavy objects, scraping and battering out distorted beats, powers the all-rhythm section with force. Samples mangled to confusion pierce the punishing framework, to the point of near exhaustion.

Releases from this duo will be monthly, 2 tracks at a time (for your Friday and Saturday nights). There’s a lot we can’t comment on, but what we can say about BEAT WKND is they want you to turn these tracks rather loud, lights off, and dance until u lose yourself.

Having only released music by Color War for years, it took a pandemic to start building a library of artists, but here we are. Adding to our catalog is London/New York by way of Gothenborg and Tehran, Saga Aava finds a space between music and another kind of world building assembly through shapes, sounds, strangely vibrating recordings of unusual medical devices, and a detailed examination of the mind.

Saga Aava is not an easy listen. Clocking only 15 minutes, Darkness is harrowing, sometimes straight up uncomfortable, yet there is an odd clarity to the vision of a subconscious realm. To explore this universe takes a certain want to, but we can confirm it is rewarding.

In concert with our love for transporting material, we welcome this new work as an expansion of our own universe, and we hope you can enter that place with us.

After taking some time off to finish up other projects, COLOR WAR drops the new single "TFW" on all streaming platforms, hinting at some things to come.  This track, off the forthcoming Thru The Clouds EP, recalls the feels of their early vocal work, as Lindsay Mound traces the outline of an overwhelming teenage crush.  With sonic-manipulator and live-video wizard Brandon Sciarrotta joining the group full-time, "TFW" points to a more finely-layered sound, cresting in waves and elevating the listener through emotional dynamics among bursts of freeform noise.
