And biggest physical release to date! Gezellig Records welcomes back Hualun with a full release of \"Scene\", a collection of songs recorded in Beijing \u0026amp; Shenzhen from 2020 to 2022. \"Scene\" can be considered a \"partner\" album to 2021's \"wʌndərlænd,\" though more subtle and reflective. Throughout the album, listeners will find that the band of MK Zoo, Ding Mao, Rubey, and Wangwei traces their own history, weaving in their post-rock roots into contemporary minimal ambient into lo-fi hip-hop beats into jammier psychedelic improvisation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Scene\" is available digitally and on vinyl, with a new mix, specifically for the record. \"Scene\" also has a companion cassette with four tape-exclusive tracks to create a full, 12-track album that spans across different media. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter wʌndərlænd, Hualun began a new project called \"Scene\" in 2020. Still starting from inside, with the help of different types of synthesizers, piano, and guitar, the band focuses on exploring and experimenting with more subtle sounds, and draws inspiration from the traditional music of East Asia. From the Wuhan punk music scenes in the early days, to the meditation with strong Eastern spirit, and then to contemporary minimal ambient music, while tracing the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e roots of their own music, Hualun also uses Scene to respond to the complex external world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir soundscapes bring to mind the legendary works of Brian Eno, Suzanne Ciani, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Laraaji, and Cluster, while staying in touch with contemporaries like Mogwai, Sarah Davachi, Tengger, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiveChina Music calls Hualun’s recent creations “gorgeous tracks of atmospheric, world-building, soundscapes that burrow into your psyche”. And RADII describes their sounds as “soft and fragile […] seemingly ready to fall away at any moment.” Their score for Hu Bo’s An Elephant Sitting Still was listed as one of The Film Stage’s best original scores in 2019. Hualun created an original score to the Yung Chang documentary WUHAN WUHAN, which premiered at DOC NYC. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHualun is a constantly evolving group, anchored by guitarist Zooo and synth wizard Ding Mao. They’ve experimented with instrumental rock to cinematic post-rock, from original film scores to “homework” type sound experiments, where the wʌndərlænd album falls. Known as a group of musicians who rely on their intuition, they are leaders in experimenting with sound, and exploring the source of natural growth with their music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e继wʌndərlænd之后，花伦在2020年开始新的创作计划“Scene”。仍然从乐队内部开始，借助于不同类型的合成器、钢琴和吉他，乐队聚焦更为细微的声音探索和实验，并从东方传统音乐元素中获取灵感。从早期嘈杂喧闹的武汉朋克音乐场景、到极具东方精神的心灵冥想，再到当代极简主义的环境音乐，在回溯自己音乐根源的同时，花伦也用《Scene》对复杂的外部世界进行回应。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ereleased October 11, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2020-2022 年录制于北京 \/ 深圳\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Beijing \/ Shenzhen, from 2020 to 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e合成器：丁茂\u003cbr\u003eSynthesizer：Dingmao\u003cbr\u003e吉他\u0026amp;合成器：MK Zoo\u003cbr\u003eGuitar \u0026amp; Synthesizer: MK Zoo\u003cbr\u003e钢琴\u0026amp;键盘：Rubey Hu\u003cbr\u003ePiano \u0026amp; Keyboard: Rubey Hu\u003cbr\u003e贝斯：王伟\u003cbr\u003eBass：Wangwei\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e作曲、录音及制作 \/ Composed, Produced \u0026amp; Recorded by: 花伦 \/ Hualun\u003cbr\u003e剪辑 \u0026amp; 制作 \/ Edited \u0026amp; Produced by：Konny \u0026amp; Rubey Hu\u003cbr\u003e混音及母带 制作：米高伟拿（苏格兰）\/ Mixed and Mastered by Michael Wheeler, Silver Wave Sound, Scotland \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e设计 \/ Designed：Ben TO Smith \u0026amp; Madeleine Young\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e发行 \/ Published by：Gezellig Records\u003cbr\u003e音乐版权提供:上海牛宋万文化传媒有限公司 \/ Licensed by: New Song One Cultural Communication Co.

Den Tapes \u0026amp; Gezellig Records have teamed up to release a limited run of unique cassettes for PASSE. Each label has a different tape variant - collect them both! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormer members of Built to Spill and formed in Rio de Janeiro, Oruã has become stalwarts of the Brazilian lo-fi music scene. The band is lead by critically-acclaimed guitarist and producer Lê Almeida and is joined by long-time collaborators João Casaes (synths), Bigu Medine (bass) and Phill Fernandes (drums). Together, they blend lo-fi indie rock, krautrock, noise, afrobeat, and Brazilian references that range from Luiz Gonzaga’s primal Pernambuco sound to classic Brazilian psych rock. In 2019 their sound was discovered by indie rock legend Doug Martsch of Built to Spill, which led to him inviting Lê and João to become temporary members of the 90’s indie rock band. Later, they recorded, co-produced, and co-mixed Built to Spill’s most recent album, When the Wind Forgets Your Name, released in 2022 on Sub Pop Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter touring extensively with Built to Spill and showcasing their high-energy shows in the US and Europe throughout the years, Oruã will return to the US in 2024 in support of their forthcoming album, PASSE on Transfusão Noise Records. Their sound continues to mix the electric pulses of deconstructed guitars over a mesmerizing groove, taking both audience and band into a collective trance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRio de Janeiro, where the mountains dramatically merge with the sea, is riddled with contradictions. It’s a cliche to say that a city is full of contradictions, but Rio de Janeiro is not just any city. Many elements are often in opposition: the beauty of the coastline contrasting the decay of the center city; the wealth of the valleys and coastline at odds with the poverty of the hillside favelas and the periferia (periphery); the idyllic sand and surf clashing with the harsh concrete and bricks of the streets. Rio’s beauty can often act like a mirage as there’s much in opposition - poverty, injustice, and violence - often just below the surface, bubbling. It’s from this city of contradiction that the band Oruã formed at the end of 2016. A band built not out of contradiction, but from improvisation, where inspired ideas often bubble up to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s often at the margins of Rio where creativity flows most freely. Lê Almeida says that violence fuels this work, in contrast to his gentle demeanor that seems like he wouldn't hurt a fly. Since he was young, Lê has had several experiences where violence - that he’s witnessed or been a victim of - has been used as a source of power and control, just as it has been in Rio for centuries. Oruã’s music can be seen as a reaction or resistance to this violence, particularly during a particularly turbulent time in Brasil’s history. Oruã works out of Escritório in the Centro neighborhood, in a \"somewhat forgotten\" area of Rio. The space is not far from Cemitério dos Pretos Novos, a mass grave where 30,000 bodies of slaves are buried. A gruesome memory, literally under the surface, of Brazil’s long and violent history of slavery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s hard to identify anything traditionally “Brazilian” about Oruã’s sound, but the band comes from a centuries-long tradition of resistance. They come from Brazil’s indigenous people defying the seizure of their land. They come from a series of slave rebellions in Brazil, which continued until slavery was finally outlawed in 1888, the last country in the Americas to do so. They come from quilombos, communities around the country that were organized by fugitive slaves. They come from the traditions of Candomblé and Umbanda, syncretic religions of African origin with strong musical components that for centuries were often practiced in secret, practitioners claiming they were Catholic to avoid persecution. (The album title “Passe” is a practice in Umbanda in which people exchange energy; it also means to pass, where “passing” is a means to avoid detection). Oruã are descendants of this history of resistance. Their music is an exchange of energy with their audience, but also an attempt “to persuade them by hook or crook,” (as Nina Simone urged) to defy the oppressors. Oruã are encouraging their audience to rise up. Against racism. Against brutality. Against state-sponsored oppression. To refute violence; seeking to live free, with equality and fellowship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Jeff Caltabiano\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTNR-114 \u003cbr\u003eDT-82\u003cbr\u003eGZR-031\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in Cabo Frio \/ Rio de Janeiro \/ São Paulo (Brazil) - New York \/ Seattle (United States) - Aalborg (Denmark)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLê Almeida - guitars, tapes, percussion and vocals - drums on 13\u003cbr\u003eBigú Medine - bass, metallophone and vocals - synth on 13\u003cbr\u003eJoão Casaes - synths\u003cbr\u003eKarin Santa Rosa - drums\u003cbr\u003ePhill Fernandes - cymbals, extra percussion in 3 and saxophone in 13\u003cbr\u003eLaura Lavieri - vocals in 4\u003cbr\u003eJim Roth - guitars at 10, 11 and 13\u003cbr\u003eAna Zumpano - guitar in 13\u003cbr\u003eBeeau Gomez - bass at 13\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSound engineer at 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9 and mixes at 5 and 8 by André Medeiros\u003cbr\u003eMastering and cover painting by João Casaes\u003cbr\u003eEngineered, mixed \u0026amp; produced by Lê Almeida\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gezellig Records Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41753933643910,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/2282\/9702\/files\/54fjgr09.png?v=1745456689"},{"product_id":"gzr-029-retrato-o-enigma-de-um-dia-cassette","title":"GZR-029 || Retrato - 'O Enigma de um dia' Cassette","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe're stoked to release Retrato's album here at Gezellig HQ.

Over ten tracks, The New Romantics blends a wide range of moods and styles, from post-punk to synth-pop to psych rock, into an experience that’s both timeless and singular. There are tight hooks and catchy riffs in Biondo’s music, but it’s not quite pop; there are layers of echo and reverb, but it’s not totally shoegaze either.

And biggest physical release to date! Gezellig Records welcomes back Hualun with a full release of \"Scene\", a collection of songs recorded in Beijing \u0026amp; Shenzhen from 2020 to 2022. \"Scene\" can be considered a \"partner\" album to 2021's \"wʌndərlænd,\" though more subtle and reflective. Throughout the album, listeners will find that the band of MK Zoo, Ding Mao, Rubey, and Wangwei traces their own history, weaving in their post-rock roots into contemporary minimal ambient into lo-fi hip-hop beats into jammier psychedelic improvisation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Scene\" is available digitally and on vinyl, with a new mix, specifically for the record. \"Scene\" also has a companion cassette with four tape-exclusive tracks to create a full, 12-track album that spans across different media. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter wʌndərlænd, Hualun began a new project called \"Scene\" in 2020. Still starting from inside, with the help of different types of synthesizers, piano, and guitar, the band focuses on exploring and experimenting with more subtle sounds, and draws inspiration from the traditional music of East Asia. From the Wuhan punk music scenes in the early days, to the meditation with strong Eastern spirit, and then to contemporary minimal ambient music, while tracing the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e roots of their own music, Hualun also uses Scene to respond to the complex external world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir soundscapes bring to mind the legendary works of Brian Eno, Suzanne Ciani, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Laraaji, and Cluster, while staying in touch with contemporaries like Mogwai, Sarah Davachi, Tengger, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiveChina Music calls Hualun’s recent creations “gorgeous tracks of atmospheric, world-building, soundscapes that burrow into your psyche”. And RADII describes their sounds as “soft and fragile […] seemingly ready to fall away at any moment.” Their score for Hu Bo’s An Elephant Sitting Still was listed as one of The Film Stage’s best original scores in 2019. Hualun created an original score to the Yung Chang documentary WUHAN WUHAN, which premiered at DOC NYC. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHualun is a constantly evolving group, anchored by guitarist Zooo and synth wizard Ding Mao. They’ve experimented with instrumental rock to cinematic post-rock, from original film scores to “homework” type sound experiments, where the wʌndərlænd album falls. Known as a group of musicians who rely on their intuition, they are leaders in experimenting with sound, and exploring the source of natural growth with their music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e继wʌndərlænd之后，花伦在2020年开始新的创作计划“Scene”。仍然从乐队内部开始，借助于不同类型的合成器、钢琴和吉他，乐队聚焦更为细微的声音探索和实验，并从东方传统音乐元素中获取灵感。从早期嘈杂喧闹的武汉朋克音乐场景、到极具东方精神的心灵冥想，再到当代极简主义的环境音乐，在回溯自己音乐根源的同时，花伦也用《Scene》对复杂的外部世界进行回应。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased October 11, 2024 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2020-2022 年录制于北京 \/ 深圳 \u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Beijing \/ Shenzhen, from 2020 to 2022 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e合成器：丁茂 \u003cbr\u003eSynthesizer：Dingmao \u003cbr\u003e吉他\u0026amp;合成器：MK Zoo \u003cbr\u003eGuitar \u0026amp; Synthesizer: MK Zoo \u003cbr\u003e钢琴\u0026amp;键盘：Rubey Hu \u003cbr\u003ePiano \u0026amp; Keyboard: Rubey Hu \u003cbr\u003e贝斯：王伟 \u003cbr\u003eBass：Wangwei \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e作曲、录音及制作 \/ Composed, Produced \u0026amp; Recorded by: 花伦 \/ Hualun \u003cbr\u003e剪辑 \u0026amp; 制作 \/ Edited \u0026amp; Produced by：Konny \u0026amp; Rubey Hu \u003cbr\u003e混音及母带 制作：米高伟拿（苏格兰）\/ Mixed and Mastered by Michael Wheeler, Silver Wave Sound, Scotland  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e设计 \/ Designed：Ben TO Smith \u0026amp; Madeleine Young \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e发行 \/ Published by：Gezellig Records \u003cbr\u003e音乐版权提供:上海牛宋万文化传媒有限公司 \/ Licensed by: New Song One Cultural Communication Co.

After his debut Elephants on the Beach, he stepped away from composing with drums and percussion, feeling he hadn’t yet fully grasped the sound and depth of rhythm. Five years on, Sundae reflects his renewed engagement with full-band composition and a deeper\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e understanding of groove and texture—making it both a return and an evolution. It was also his first time co-producing, which he describes as *“like co-flying heavy machinery at this altitude”—*a fresh challenge that brought new energy and perspective to the project. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSundae will be released on 6 June 2025.
