: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Leon Vynehall has announced the followup to 2018's critically :,
: acclaimed debut Nothing Is Still (which garnered widespread :
:' praise including appearing in æAlbum of the YearÆ lists from ':
,: Rough Trade, Mixmag, Esquire, The Vinyl Factory, RA and more) in :,
: the form of new album Rare, Forever which will be released on 30 :
:' April via Ninja Tune. Along with the announcement he has shared ':
,: two new tracks 'Mothra' and 'Ecce! Ego!'. :,
: :
:' Speaking of 'Mothra' Vynehall says: ':
,: :,
: "Mothra is the euphoric unfurling of 'something'. Muted notes :
:' fluttering free before returning to the cascade we arrived ':
,: from, only now with purpose" :,
: :
:' Speaking of 'Ecce! Ego!' Vynehall says: ':
,: :,
: "The tracks' title literally translates from Latin to 'Behold! :
:' Me!' A fitting introduction to an album about my own psyche, I ':
,: thought. It starts off where Nothing Is Still left off, but :,
: rapidly switches to something more fluid, perhaps even sinister. :
:' I kind of think of this song as 'Envelopes (Chapter VI)'s ':
,: fucked up cousin." :,
: :
:' As anyone pursuing a creative outlet will do at some point in ':
,: their process; upon turning 30 in Los Angeles, far from his :,
: London home, Leon Vynehall found himself wondering about what :
:' heÆs trying to say in life, where heÆs trying to go and ':
,: thinking about his career to date. After bringing euphoria to :,
: dancefloors all over the world with the humid house of Rojus :
:' (Designed To Dance), he took a sharp left turn with debut album ':
,: Nothing Is Still ù a masterclass in subverting expectations. :,
: With the entry to the long-running DJ-Kicks series that :
:' followed, Vynehall turned further away from convention, putting ':
,: together a mix that naturally and creatively blended everything :,
: from industrial and techno to dancehall, soul and ambient in a :
:' way that Resident Advisor described in their 4.4/5 review as ':
,: ôbrilliantly executedö. :,
: :
:' Those who have spent time with VynehallÆs music over the past ':
,: decade will know how much it is rooted in family. Nothing Is :,
: Still ù which was part of a wider multimedia experience spanning :
:' film (with video elements directed by Young Replicant) and ':
,: literature ù was dedicated to VynehallÆs grandparents and traced :,
: their emigration from London to New York in the 1960s, his own :
:' journey to Los Angeles striking some distant, ghostly parallels ':
,: with theirs. Music For The Uninvited was inspired by the funk, :,
: soul and hip-hop tapes his mum used to play on car journeys to :
:' and from school. But on Rare, Forever, Vynehall is showcasing ':
,: all the strings to his bow - creating music thatÆs borderless :,
: and unbound. :
:' ':
,: Rare, Forever sees Vynehall for the first time investigating who :,
: he is as a person and artist in the very moment, rather than :
:' looking to the past to discover what and who has shaped him. ':
,: The result then contains multiple sides to him, but variety in :,
: his art is something Vynehall is used to - he described his 2018 :
:' Resident Advisor Podcast as taking the dancefloor ôleft and ':
,: right, up and down." On Rare, Forever, heÆs taking a victory :,
: lap. The album is a beautiful marriage of everything he's done :
:' so far while remaining genuinely progressive; the end result ':
,: sounding like Nothing Is Still but with the narrative toned :,
: down, and the dancefloor dialled up. :
:' ':
,: Rare, Forever will feel familiar for fans of VynehallÆs DJ-Kicks :,
: mix or his eclectic excursions on NTS while simultaneously :
:' sounding unlike anything heÆs ever done before. As much as ':
,: there are dancefloor memories and moments, itÆs not strictly a :,
: dance record ù instead, Rare, Forever is the clearest :
:' representation of the broad spectrum of music heÆs made to ':
,: date. :,
: :
:' More recently, Vynehall has set up a new recording space ':
,: 'Studio Ooze' to expand his collaborations and has been writing :,
: and producing for the likes of Kam-Bu, Wesley Joseph, Kenzie TTH :
:' and Jeshi - a number of which are slated for imminent release. ':
