Chelsey and the Noise // Castle

The Bay Area (California) based duo Chelsey and the Noise find their strength in contradictions. Pairing heavy synths and distorted guitars with catchy melodies and heartfelt vocals to create a sound both intense and playful. The instrumentation is chaotic yet controlled, pierced by moments of atmospheric vulnerability in an attempt to find beauty among the mayhem.

This dichotomy is pushed further by the themes explored in their latest release Blank Frames. An album as much about the pain of loss as it is about the exultation in starting over. Lyrically teetering between self-confidence and self-doubt while ultimately finding the strength to rebuild what was destroyed. Though it’s easy to find the darkness in this music, the album is ultimately a work of optimism and a celebration of human resilience.

NUIT // FW18 Campaign "Persephone's Kingdom" PREVIEW

Persephone's Kingdom represents a journey; the loss of innocence and the acceptance of one's own path, and true nature. Persephone did not enter Hades by choice, but by choice she did rule the Kingdom.

This season we present to you pieces which are not what they first appear, which transform according to your mood or necessity.  Which go seamlessly from daytime to night and sunshine to rain.

We hope you will join us on this journey of transformation.

Persephone's Kingdom launches tomorrow at 11 am EST, at nuitclothingatelier.com

DunJIN // The Tragedy, "Man"

DunJIN is an experimental project spanning ambience, drones, musique concrete, and atmospheric soundscapes. Created using layered guitars, organs, pianos, field recordings and samples, DunJIN's music is both heavily atmospheric and atmospherically heavy. DunJIN is a one man project based in the Northeast of England. 

The Tragedy, "Man"  is taken from the album The Conqueror Worm. This track is an atmospheric and eerie soundscape that takes you to a place of loss and beauty. The ambient textures evoke a sense of emptiness and almost a sense of a forewarning of what is to come. Is that tragedy? The tragedy of man? It feels like an awakening from an ending or maybe its just a different beginning. 

"...But see, amid the mimic rout, A crawling shape intrude! A blood-red thing that writhes from out, The scenic solitude! It writhes!—it writhes!—with mortal pangs, The mimes become its food, And seraphs sob at vermin fangs, In human gore imbued. 
Out—out are the lights—out all! And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm,
While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, “Man,” And its hero, the Conqueror Worm."
