The Artist Dania: Her Album Listless – Intimate Underground Music Inspired by Medical Night Shifts
Besides producing evocative digital compositions, the Baghdad-born, Barcelona-based artist Dania furthermore serves overnight duties as an critical care doctor. Those late-night hours serve as the inspiration for her latest release Listless: all 7 songs were composed and produced in the early hours, and the cover showcases the spindly blossom of the Trichosanthes cucumerina, a plant that only blooms after dark. However, there is little trace of the chaos of her overnight schedule here: rather, the record embodies a quiet peacefulness that is sometimes blissful, sometimes eerie.
Converging somewhere between downtempo, shoegaze and atmospheric, with a touch of pop, the textured tracks glide dreamily, propelled by waves of synths and, for the first time, percussion. A new addition to the artist's typical setup, these drums lend a soft slow-paced rhythm to a number of the songs. Its shuffling, hazy rhythm in the track Personal Assistant evokes the 1990s-era bands Scala and another, while Car Crash Premonition is the closest things come to urgent. Composed following an disturbing cab ride to her workspace one night, it is both brooding and woozy, ideal for a film montage.
Additional songs, such as I Know That and Write My Name, are more reminiscent of the artist's previous output: minimalist and amorphous. The final song, A Hunger, possesses a underwater quality, with bubbling and beeping sounds that resemble hospital monitors, blended with distorted answerphone-style singing.
Dania’s soft, whispering vocal is present across almost the entirety of the album. Its lyrics are almost imperceptible as her vocals are floating, looped, layered, at points almost absent at all. Growing up in a home where singing was frowned upon, she’s said it’s an activity she’s consistently considered private about. But it’s also an inspired decision, enhancing the dream-like haze on this beautiful, personal album.
New Releases This Month
Bitchin Bajas stretch four songs out to almost 40 minutes on their album Inland See. Throughout those lengthy compositions (featuring an epic 18-minute final track), the Windy City group deliver another masterclass in rich, meandering simplicity, with steady loops and effervescent jazz touches. Over the past ten years, Timedance (the label of Bristol producer one individual) has served as a foundation for low-end focused experimental electronic beats. Their release TD10 celebrates that anniversary with 23 weighty, left-of-centre dancefloor tracks for all times of the night, including input from heavyweight artists like one name, another, a third and Batu personally. Motivated partly by personal encounters of agoraphobia and claustrophobia, the album Fobia (by Other People), the new album by Argentinian musician Aylu, is appropriately personal, at moments overwhelmingly thus. Close-contact captures of strained breaths, swallows and vocalizations expand into intriguing but frequently beautiful compositions.
