• J Zunz • (Mexico. Rocket Recordings)
Since the turn of the decade, Lorena Quintanilla has made a name for herself as one half (guitarist/vocalist) of Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, an incredible psych and shoegaze band with a reputation for exceptional live shows and a catalog of equally impressive albums to match. Since 2017 Quintanilla has also been focusing on her solo project, J. Zunz - a metamorphic process whereby the minimal is rendered maximal and the personal fused with the political.
“It is hard to describe any record as they keep unfolding to me in time” says Lorena. The initial vision for J. Zunz was for Lorena to strip her approach down to the basics – “I remember I was reading a biography of John Cage and that book detonated something in me. The author was referring to the influence of Buddhism and meditation, and modern artists like Sonia Delaunay, Lucio Fontana, Julio Le Parc, futurism. I was very charged with ideas.”
Recording in the vociferously windy area of Enseneda over a strict lockdown, her third solo release ‘Del Aire’ continues the journey. Exorcising the troubles she encountered during the period, in the process Lorena created both what she describes as a “continuity and discontinuity” from ‘Hibiscus’, and extracting a similar, yet fresh strain of emotional complexity.
With the atmospheric and natural theme of air at the heart of the creative process, Lorena has created an extraordinarily spacious work. Through mellifluous repetition, cathartic buzzsaw moments and the elemental force of the album’s conceptual core, ‘Del Aire’ acts as an intimate echo chamber vicariously healing the listener’s wounds besides Lorena’s own.

• Northering •
Northering is the symbiotic partnership between Maius Mollis and Anna Hughes. They deftly weave together drones, samples and finger-style guitar with close-knit vocal interplay, creating a newly imagined song-based collaboration.

• Heat Death of the Sun •
Experimental noise / drone conjurings of found sound, Gregorian chants and whatever else the lad can lay his hands on - ambient music re-framed between intensity and creeping unease.
