There are those who confirm, and those who confront and never stop transforming. Karen Willems, (previously) drummer with a.o. Yuko, Zita Swoon Group, Cycle with Dirk Serries, several side projects, and leader of Inwolves, firmly belongs to the latter category. The promise of Air + (2014) is now taken to its next logical phase, and what emerges is music that’s fit for dark and desperate times. Based on drums, guitar and synths (Jürgen De Blonde and Ward Dupan), the tracks on Involves have gained an intensity that was still lurking below the surface on the previous release.
Rooted in the kosmische Musik of the seventies, but also betraying connections to today’s recycling of analogue electronics and dynamic sound-painting, the music of Inwolves resides in a universe that is as ominous as it is electrifying, bringing together light and darkness, rhythm and texture, silence and movement.
Involves will be released on March 25th on Consouling Sounds and is up for pre-order here). Listen to the exclusive première of the track ‘Dirty Monks’ here:
