In an unexpected move, Scottish 4-piece Auld White Label have released a daring and experimental EP titled ‘Tangents’, set to shake up the music industry with its genre-fluid sound and thought-provoking themes.
The lead single, Chapter 1, is a captivating track that showcases the band’s exceptional talent and artistic vision. Opening with a pulsing beat and ethereal vocals, Chapter 1 draws listeners in with its hypnotic and unpredictable sound. The band’s signature industrial tone, coupled with chopped-up vocals and swirling synths, creates an immersive experience that encourages audiences to delve deeper into the EP’s richly textured layers and intricate arrangements.
Tangents is a concept EP that explores the themes of death and rebirth, with each of the four tracks offering a unique perspective on this concept. The EP seamlessly blends elements of shoegaze, electronica, synthwave, and IDM, showcasing Auld White Label’s diverse range of influences and musical prowess. The EP’s cover artwork, an abstract painting of a mushroom, perfectly encapsulates the project’s central theme of transformation and evolution. What makes this EP truly exceptional is the unconventional writing process that brought it to life. Each member of Auld White Label contributed their own track to the project, which was then fused together as a group. This collaborative approach to composition adds a unique touch to the EP, solidifying the band’s position as pioneers in their genre.
Despite forming on the eve of lockdown, Auld White Label has quickly risen to acclaim, garnering attention for their two concept albums and their contribution to the charity album ‘Northern Strangers’. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by renowned producer Andy Miller (Mogwai, Songs: Ohia, Life Without Buildings) at Garglblast Studios, Tangents is a testament to the band’s raw talent and dedication to their craft. Tangents is now available on all streaming platforms, solidifying Auld White Label’s place as one of the most promising and innovative acts in the Scottish music scene. With their unique sound and bold approach to music-making, Auld White Label is a force to be reckoned with.
