RELEASE DATE

On his third album,
Blizz
, Munich-based drummer and producer
Simon Popp
further blurs the line between electronic and organic sounds. In carefully crafted, slow-growing tracks tuned metal percussions cut through searing synth pads, sucking the listener into a sonic vortex. Informed by personal and spiritual themes, Popp's debut album
Laya
(SQM 002LP), as well as his 2021 follow-up
Devi
(SQM 010LP) make use of rhythms as storytelling mechanisms. Contrasting light and dark, organic and synthetic sounds, his compositions engage in a dance of subtle complexities, enticing the listener into the practice of close listening. Throughout
Blizz
, a panopticon of metallophones takes flight, floating freely over earth-bound counter rhythms, conjuring up call-and-response techniques inherent in polyrhythmic music. This technique favors experimentation over perfectionism, leaving space for happy accidents to unlock new melodic possibilities. According to Popp, "it's much more interesting to try to push the boundaries of an instrument to see what's possible."
