Something special is floating around

Después de llover
by Eli Wewentxu & Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė
STRLP-141
Out digitally
Ltd pressing of 300 will be out end of August.

album
“Después de llover” is about musical conversations between two people who have only recently met; they come from very different places, do not speak the same languages, and perhaps have little in common other than the resonance of their instruments. This encounter leads them to explore an imaginary world where they share sounds to build a place where they can go and play with the moisture of the plants growing in the water, listen to the pudus playing with the herons, rest on the floripondios, and perhaps stay there waiting for the rain to return.
These pieces were recorded on summer day in 2025 at Indrė’s house with kanklės, txompe, and violin.

-——

“ Después de llover ” son conversaciones sonoras de dos personas que se conocen desde hace poco tiempo, vienen de lugares muy diferentes, no hablan las mismas lenguas y tal vez no tienen tanto en común más que la resonancia de sus instrumentos. Este encuentro les lleva a explorar un mundo imaginario donde comparten sonidos para construir un lugar donde poder ir a jugar con la humedad de las plantas que crecen en el agua, ir a escuchar a los pudus jugar con las garzas, ir a descansar sobre los floripondios y tal vez quedarse ahí a esperar a que regrese la lluvia.

Estas piezas fueron grabadas en el verano de 2025 en la casa de Indre con kanklės, txompe y violín.

Heith and Tarawangsawelas met in Bandung in 2017, since then their collaboration has been evolving, both in person and remotely. The result is ‘Duori’ an album of 5th world music in low data mode that travelled inside lost and found portable recorders, on defunct hard drives and expired e-sim cards.
Recording and arranging songs over a long period of time and across a vast geographical distance has lent their practice a distinct character. This distance allows the possibility to see things from different perspectives and creates music that hovers both inside the Sundanese Land, and outside of it, both on the European continent and not. This record carries compositions from one side of the globe to the other, catching spirits and energies from different places, societies and rituals.

Once mainly something that existed in a live setting, the group drifts further into its own orbit with a second collection of songs. What began as a collaboration between two voices now expands with the presence of a third, adding new layers that sometimes verge on something almost familiar.

The work continues to explore a method that feels less like collecting from the outside and more like rearranging from within. Fragments are taken apart and reassembled: rhythms, echoes, remnants of recognizable forms. This time, there is a stronger sense of movement, though it never quite settles. The vocals wander through it all, as if searching without urgency to arrive. At unexpected moments, other sounds surface briefly, then disappear again. The whole seems to find comfort in its own instability.

The titles exist somewhat independently, like small pieces that don’t fully explain themselves. In that distance, they open up space for interpretation. Language itself feels uncertain: questioned, reshaped, exchanged. The work circles around ideas of expression and relevance without resolving them, touching lightly on themes that resist being stated directly.

The result feels suspended between places, moods, or states, never entirely grounded. There’s a sense of contrast throughout, as if different impulses coexist without needing to agree. If it seems out of step at times, it may simply be following a rhythm of its own.

Difficult to pin down, more immediate in experience than in description. It recalls unlikely combinations and shifting textures, at once playful, disoriented, and quietly precise.

The people behind it move between different disciplines, carrying traces of those practices into this work.

🌽 Action Park Sargent: second single of Or Sobre Blau - Making Friends is out now! Come celebrate June 20th for the release at ! 🌽

“Making Friends” is a record about its own making: a reflection on a decade of friendship, on the importance of friend and family bonds (the song “Rachel & Antonia” is named for, and excerpts phone conversations with, both members’ mothers), and the duo’s shared, irrepressible, inexplicable need to play and record music with others. The duo begins the record distant and confused — the first track “Campanilleros” records their agonising attempts to remember how to play music and communicate together (Leonard realises he has more or less forgotten how to speak Spanish) — and they end closer and stronger both as friends and collaborators; sharing, as Serra remarks on the final track “La invitació de l’anguila” (the Eel’s Invitation), “molta il.lusió per lo que pogué vindre” or “much excitement for what may lie ahead“.

Out now!? Symbols by Sergeant 💙🛠️ STRLP-115

Today marks the release of Symbols, the second album by Sergeant on Stroom. Or not quite, since the record itself is still somewhere between arriving and not arriving. Consider this a soft launch. Digitally available worldwide. Listening links in the you know where!

Once mainly something that existed in a live setting, the group drifts further into its own orbit with a second collection of songs. What began as a collaboration between two voices (Ferre & Benjamin) now expands with the presence of a third (Geraldine), adding new layers that sometimes verge on something almost familiar. Ferre sings through the songs like he’s looking for an exit and having a great time not finding it. Somewhere in there, a flute appears: it sounds slightly worried about the bassline.
