Artist Feature ~ Purelink

Purelink are no strangers to Philly, having played in 2023 Spindrift and in 2024 in the Great Circles ∞ Zone at Making Time ∞ . If you frequent our shop, you’ve likely seen their LPs - ‘Signs’ and ‘Faith’ - on Peak Oil and heard them gracing our speakers on a Sunday afternoon. And if Purelink are new to you, well, don’t miss your chance to hear them close out this season of Passages.

Excerpt from official bio ~

Purelink are more than the sum of their parts - formed in 2020, the trio (consisting of Millia, kindtree, & Concave Reflection) has amassed a loving fanbase worldwide for their fusion of influences - from the rhythmic depth & detailed sound design of speaker-knocking contemporary bass music, the enveloping sub bass, sway of dub, & the classic chillout IDM styles of aqueous swirls & textural ambient scapes.

Bringing in a distinctly modern flair with innovative groove programming to their recordings & live performances, their music touches upon the effervescent emotional realms & limitless technological potential of Mille Plateaux Y2K-era experimental ambient styles - one eye towards the past & one on the future, yet lucidly present for the catharsis of poignant dancefloor moments or an evening of heads-down introspective electronic journeying.

Artist Feature ~ Jeremy Hyman

Jeremy Hyman (Baltimore) reached out to us last September and subsequently visited the shop to drop off copies of his album, ‘Low Air.’ The album is stunning! And when we dug around we realized Jeremy is also responsible for the drums on the Lifted releases we love on Peak Oil and Future Times. A perfect fit for Passages? Of course!

Check out the album on Bandcamp, read more about Jeremy’s musical adventures below, and join us in the labyrinth next Saturday.

Official Bio & Album Announcement ~

Jeremy Hyman has spent a good portion of his life behind the drum kit with Animal Collective, Boredoms, Dan Deacon, Lifted, and Ponytail. In the last decade he began a slow and steady output of EPs on Max D’s Future Times label as well as 4 LPs as part of production collective Lifted. JH recordings, and Low Air, its first release present a new lense for Hyman’s solo output.

From years of collaboration with Animal Collective, Boredoms, Dan Deacon, Lifted, Ponytail and many others, comes Low Air, the first LP from Jeremy Hyman. Expansive and lush, but with an ascetic delivery reflecting decades behind the drum kit, the album consolidates a 5 year period of studio and live work to 8 pieces of music paired down to their essential qualities. Building on his dance floor tuned output for Max D’s future times label, Low Air expands into a broader compositional and textural arena. The paired down rhythms act like line work keeping together a wash of purling noise and understated harmony, while the compositions hang tightly to the urgency of the live moment. Low Air is the first release on JH recordings, Hyman’s own imprint, which will present a new avenue for Hyman’s solo output.’

We’re down to just two more Passages in Season 4. Last month marked 30 concerts in the series since October 2022. 120 hours in the labyrinth. Through it all, has been with us, continuously leveling up and blowing our minds with visuals that fully transform the space around us.

Phone videos hardly do it justice. When it’s happening live, you can FEEL the light and the motion. The textures and layers are sometimes so deep you might be tempted to walk through a wall into another dimension.

If you haven’t yet experienced Passages this season, time is running out. Join us tomorrow night.
