About

Norwegian-Mexican artist/producer Carmen Villain makes atmospheric music made up of tapestries of field-recordings, woodwinds, samples and synths, culminating in her own distinctive, cosmic sound combining elements of fourth world, dub and ambient. She has released music for labels such as Smalltown Supersound, Geographic North and Longform Editions. Carmen's new 3 track EP gives a sense of where she might be heading next on her musical journey. On Nutrition, the submerged influence of dub seen in a lot of her earlier work has risen more prominently to the surface. Carmen describes the tracks as "some dub studies born out of my continued fascination with the form. I’m in a period where I just keep going back to experimenting with beats and rhythms".

She descends deeper into the mutant dub vortex on Nutrition, infusing the residue of classic Pole/~Scape, Mark Ernestus and vintage Chain Reaction with a mossy potency that surprisingly and rather brilliantly lines up next to recent work by Carrier and the flickering embers of T++. — (via Label)
