POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Informed by the atmosphere of the Italo Calvino novel of the same name, the ten tracks on Invisible Cities mutably shimmer somewhere between neo-classical-leaning ambient, fourth-world new-age exotica, and post-krautrock OSTs. By intermixing the different timbres of live string and wind instruments with astute synthesizer touches and skittish drum machine strokes, Yates has created an organic and ethereal magnum opus in which a brooding but graceful energy is manipulated into a delicately interwoven narrative. 🧬

Memotone - Invisible Cities (LP)
.
Diskotopia presents the new album Invisible Cities from Memotone, the principal alias for Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer William Yates. As a solo artist, he has released on labels such as Black Acre, Bedouin, Project Mooncircle, and Brownswood either as Memotone or under his other alias Halfnelson. In addition to doing composition work for film and television, he works as a session musician for the likes of Dmitry Evgrafov, Connie Constance, and Phaeleh. He’s also part of the Avon Terror Corps project helmed by Bokeh Versions, Giant Swan. Noods et al., and is a member of ATC-affiliated Pheasantry Society. His music has been championed on the radio, a key influential medium for Yates growing up, by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Tom Ravenscroft, Nick Luscombe, and more.
.
In 2019, Memotone debuted on Diskotopia with the highly-praised split single Luaka / Sidewise Dub, and we are delighted to be working together with him again for the release of the stunning full-length LP Invisible Cities.

Last night’s radio show was a special one, just playing music from @diskotopia records for 2 hours. 🌓
Lush, ambient and sometimes weird electronica through to electro and breaks. 🌿
Diskotopia are a Tokyo based label with an incredible back catalogue, all of which can be found on their bandcamp.
The show is on our mixcloud as ever (link in bio).

'Scratching the surface of the tracks across Prol reveal Omen’s distinct palette of industrial, noise, EBM and threads of R&B. Remnants of past like-minded explorers such as Throbbing Gristle’s Chris & Cosey side project, Maxinquaye-era Tricky and even New York-via-Japan group Cibo Matto can be found deep within Prol’s diverse sonic DNA.' This wonderful interview with OMEN by Brian Durr (aka BD1982 & all round top fella running the Diskotopia label) x Metropolis Magazine is now online in full

Comparisons to Chris & Cosey, Tricky, Kim Gordon, Hype Williams & PJ Harvey (!!!) Link in bio

And if you haven't heard 'Prol' yet, check our Bandcamp
