Don’t leave people in silence • You exist, time is priceless • There is no magic

«Known for carving out the darkest and most visceral corners of Ukrainian breakcore, Comechelet takes a bold turn, joining forces with ϙue to explore the more delicate, intangible realms of human fragility. Across 10-tracks, ‘TIME’ plunges into baltic, atmospheric depths, fusing cerebral melancholy with dark ambient and drone.

Our pick ‘Rendez-vous’ ensnares listeners from the start, uncovering layers of dense, storm-driven drones, intricately woven with a polyphony of dark ambient textures, gradually drawing the listener into a disorienting soundscape. There’s an organic fluidity to the track, as if the sounds are living entities – morphing and shifting whilst maintaining a subtle palpable tension. It inhabits a liminal space, creating a mesmerising ebb and flow between realms, lost in a sea of ubiquity.»

— Mathias Chaboteaux, INVERTED AUDIO




«The album begins in beautiful ambience, but builds to an electronic peak in “To all the mutilated souls (we will sing to them),” dedicated to those lost during the invasion and subsequent war. The music has universal appeal and an emotional heft, somehow making the distance seem smaller.»

— Richard Allen, A Closer Listen«...The cross-cutting melodies find a certain balance in the depths of impenetrable places, black holes swallowing up souls on their way to some form of Nirvana. Magical.»

— Roland Torres, SilenceAndSound«A beatless exploration, ‘TIME’ deviates from traditional ambient music, shedding its wellness associations to offer something more introspective.»

— Nicola Phillips, KALTBLUT.







«December releases are always underrated when they come out, as we get caught up in year-end lists. Comechelet & ϙue's ‘Time’ falls into this category, and it's worth checking out for its beauty and delicacy. It's surprising for an album like this from Comechelet, who is known for her more violent, percussive music, as ‘Time’ reflects contemplative moments. A release with shifting textures and loose synth sounds interspersed with field recordings and enveloping bass.»
