Angela writes about “the plum” :

/the plum/ for me is a bouquet of glitching memories and blurry sounds.
I'd like to dedicate these 20 mins and 19 seconds to Rémi's grandpa and my grandma.

“Bitumenic” by GNOM is #OutNow !

https://gnomallcaps.bandcamp.com/album/bitumenic

GNOM resides in a frenetic intersection between trance-techno, new age melodism and progressive rock: it’s about emotional overload in an esoteric ebb of sawtooth synthesizers, velvet textures and harsh riffs. Its instrumental music loaded with screamo-vocals, crystal clear melodies and the speedy hits of the drum. GNOM is a solemn parasite that simply grows: a brutal grief and a somber repose where light and dark are parallel, not disparate states.

“Bitumenic” is an attempt to express loss. It is about being a spectator to death, the memoric comfort and future pain, solitude and synergy, timeless reconciliation and effortless confusion. The album-title is a made-up adjectivization of bitumen (asphalt). It’s a tar-like sticky substance is a biproduct, thermoplastic but natural, absorbed by fumes or through the skin. A hot and vicious liquid, like the music.

This album was made with many important people. Brian Batz of Sleep Party People co-produced and co-mixed the album; Angel Marcloid of Fire-Toolz features on vocals and guitar, and mastered the album; Danish black metal artist Seiðr and free-jazz extravanganzo Anders Lauge Meldgaard feature on two songs. Prophetic visual artist Sam Balfus made both album-cover and two accompanying music videos that beautifully encapsulate the messy universe of GNOM.
