Emba - Cinq // "Paragraphs" was released on Handstitched* in 2020, it was Emba's first full-length adventure by Mathieu Lamontagne and Tim Diagram - a collaboration creating a semblance of texture with a skewed, off-kilter edge - the continuation is "Cinq" - part of the Handstitched* split-artist series of releases. Mathieu Lamontagne releases music under the name Arbee, exploring Eurorack and Modular sounds and has been involved in many collaborations, he has put-out a substantial body of self-released work and Mathieu (as Arbee) has released many release on labels such as Ondes Carrées, Florina Cassettes, Pertin_nce & Drift Label.

The New Honey Shade // With numerous releases under his guise, Mark Kuykendall comes to Handstitched* with his latest release "NEXUS" - a synth-heavy trip full of hooks and retrospective warmth, "NEXUS" flows seamlessly with each piece - deviating with an alternative purpose and a melodic form, something which TNHS does with [spacious] poise.

The New Honey Shade caught our attention in 2011 with the mind-changing tape release on Scissor Tail Records "Ozark Dream". Mark has continuously released a solid and reminiscent sound, defined by 8mm film and dust-laced nostalgia on many well-known labels as well as his own Unknown Tone imprint. Mark also runs the Wild Mountain Studios in Osage Hills, Oklahoma.

it takes a while, but the cover art finally starts to make sense: the entire album has been a sort of slow-motion takeoff. that feeling in your gut, where your stomach starts floating as if it’s weightless; that’s what anthéne does best. the last few tracks explode in turbulent walls of sound, with the titular track and light shade edging on the cinematic. as if by leaving the ground your memories are already fraying miso
