Amulet of Tears is proud to present TEARS020, a new album by Jonas Raudonius - 'Imaginary Freedom'.

Across centuries, long gone by
Veils of soul, that may rise
Fables untold, of grandeur
Chessboard ‘neath, whereabouts

Ancient plea of foals & moulds
Traces retching, yet to hold
Knights - lore - forever year
Endless span in empty bam.

Self-absorbed shadows stretch in their peeled skin,�wrapped in the habitude of shred chains. Elusive crate in the constant shelling for intrinsic freedom, whilst devouring figures blind a grander field in the stir - Inertia, where compulsion dispels its thorny strands - A lone roar in a fenceless herd.

Jonas Raudonius is Lithuania based electronic music composer and Black Wave events and podcasts series curator. The immensely cinematic sound of ‘Imaginary Freedom’, developed from creating soundtracks for various theatre performances and movies, syncs together the lines between Moog Modular System, live instruments, field recordings - coalescing together organic and electronic frequencies.

Composed by Jonas Raudonius
Artwork by øjeRum
Designed by Anasisana
Mastered by Thomas Carney
Poem and Text by FH HF

Bringing forth the long-awaited Internazionale with its unwavering nature of caressing amidst delicate nostalgia & serene hues of reminiscence. Originating from Denmark, Mikkel Valentin Dunkerley evokes eloquent canvas of 'yesteryears' with collaborations across Posh Isolation and Janushoved.

Not remembering, but replaying it all - hushed undertones of drab sunrise turning into dazzling dawns. Passing breeze comes alive anew - let is sing along, as the echoes of relics resound - where the world seems to wind down.

Amulet of Tears is delighted to announce TEARS019 - 'To Be Kept in the Body Eternal' by Patina Lush. This release is currently available for pre-order in limited edition vinyl, cassette, and digital formats, and is set to be released on July 10th.

Each touch is a ballad in nocturnal parade, rays in slumber, yet the moonbeam in breast is still awake - whispered pledge enchained with insatiable thirst. Ecstatic symphony, where caress seems to echo in the passage of elysian heath.

'To Be Kept in the Body Eternal' enchants with pulse in elegance dance of eternal, bittersweet passion. Everlasting sonata venturing into woven figures of tender phantoms.

Mumbled echoes from the mist,
through the tunnels of revival.
The graininess interplay with a subdued mellifluence.

A haze of longing sighs and reverberations
threshold between the lane,
where distant voices yield to.

Copenhagen-based musician Jakob Folke Ivarsson collected a wide shade range of molten electronic sounds & muffled patterns.

Slow resplendence to the darkened crevice - instrumental loops, celestial backcloth, shifting structures & tavernous melodies fuse together as fissures amidst the lurks, unrelenting in the acoustical strata.

Inwardly multilayered and intensely textured nuances gather as polished figures in the resplendence & morphs into rhapsodic sensibility.

Language Instinct from Texas immerses in the fathomless ties between palpitating microtonality and unwavering harmonics - collaging together sonnets of throbbing loops.

Silhouettes above rubbles

Grains of a copy, of a shade
Cloning fragments of tedium

02/02/2024

Amulet of Tears is elated to present TEARS017, a brand new, deeply personal album by Anasisana.

Echoes of invisible phantoms and the suitable fluidity - the idea of being trapped in one form, outmatched by circumstances. Bordering on angles that are rarely disturbed - that it is permeable. Drastic transmogrify, vigor of reflexes, unafraid of being deceived by the appearances of what exudes around.

'Transmogrify' is a newfound approach of Anasisana. Putting ecstatic volubility into new patterns - ingrown and intense ties, tempting to pond over and bridge the shreds.

Releases February 23rd, 2024.

Alive or moulder, I’ll appear
Compelled to Inhale
Core circle of livability

Mantle of skin - scars & wings
Words, worth the world
Fractals on tongue - soft & edgy

Body, as imaginary
Might split in two
Far enough to touch you
Into eternity.

Thoughtfully layered sound palette solidifying sharp and steady sustained tones, rising above analogue heft. Dissonant blurs of gently wavering stems twisted in a weightless vase - lubricious ties between palpable delicacy and vibrating allure.
