▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ In an era of uncertainty and introspection, frustrations will ░▐
▌░ inevitably arise. Yet there may also be the potential for ░▐
▌░ change. ItÆs possible that the warping of time and the ░▐
▌░ journey into oneÆs own headspace that come with altered ░▐
▌░ circumstances allow a moment to render the inner voice in the ░▐
▌░ service of something transformative and pure. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Indeed, Lorena Quintanilla - better known up until this point ░▐
▌░ as one ░▐
▌░ half of Mexican duo æLorelle Meets The ObsoleteÆ - has ░▐
▌░ undergone just this kind of trajectory in her solo ░▐
▌░ reinvention as J. Zunz æHibiscusÆ, ░▐
▌░ her second under this name after 2017Æs æSilenteÆ, is the ░▐
▌░ result of ░▐
▌░ a metamorphic process whereby the minimal is rendered maximal ░▐
▌░ and the personal fused with the political. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ ôIt is hard to describe any record as they keep unfolding to ░▐
▌░ me in timeö says Lorena. ôNow it is almost a year since I ░▐
▌░ recorded it. What I know is that I wrote the album during a ░▐
▌░ personal crisis inside and a political crisis outside. After ░▐
▌░ being profoundly hurt by a person I trusted but also by the ░▐
▌░ structures outside of me. I wrote it during sleepless nights ░▐
▌░ filled with overwhelming thoughts and feelings.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ The initial vision for the J. Zunz project was for Lorena to ░▐
▌░ strip her ░▐
▌░ approach down to the basics - ôI remember I was reading a ░▐
▌░ biography of John Cage and that book detonated something in ░▐
▌░ me. The author was referring to the influence of Buddhism and ░▐
▌░ meditation, and ░▐
▌░ modern artists like Sonia Delaunay, Lucio Fontana, Julio Le ░▐
▌░ Parc, ░▐
▌░ Duchamp, futirism. I was very charged with ideas.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ ôLorelle is a collaboration, so every individual idea is ░▐
▌░ transformed into something else. And I love that, but somehow ░▐
▌░ I felt that I needed ░▐
▌░ another outlet. I just needed simplicity.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Yet the strikingly confident and singular æHibiscusÆ marks a ░▐
▌░ move ░▐
▌░ on sonically from earlier comfort zones in her work, into ░▐
▌░ minimal ░▐
▌░ electronics, hypnotic repetition and compelling trance ░▐
▌░ states, arriving ░▐
▌░ at a soundworld in which cyclical synth patterns, eerie ░▐
▌░ ambient textures and cathartic vocal exhortations coalesce ░▐
▌░ into a beguiling atmosphere of otherworldly intensity. ░▐
▌░ Although some might hear echoes amongst these songs of the ░▐
▌░ like of Angelo BadalementiÆs ghostly raptures, the bleak ░▐
▌░ epiphanies of NicoÆs æMarble IndexÆ or Fifty Foot HoseÆs ░▐
▌░ spare sci-fi psychedelia, both the approach and the resulting ░▐
▌░ tapestry here ░▐
▌░ are LorenaÆs and hers alone. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Yet æHibscusÆ more than anything else is a process of alchemy ░▐
▌░ - ░▐
▌░ turning a less-is-more approach into a formidable psychic ░▐
▌░ assault, ░▐
▌░ and undergoing an artistic transmutation that renders ░▐
▌░ compelling and ░▐
▌░ uplifting work from trying times. ôI didnÆt want these songs ░▐
▌░ to sound ░▐
▌░ vulnerable.ö Lorena reflects.öI wanted the songs to be ░▐
▌░ everything ░▐
▌░ I wasnÆt at that moment: strong and fearless.ö ░▐
