Efia
, the sophomore album by
Rosaceae
, picks up where the Hamburg-based sound artist's 2019 debut on Neoprimitive left off, further exploring the topics that had already informed
Nadia's Escape
. From its confrontative front cover to the eight tracks on the album,
Efia
is fully dedicated to the motif of resistance, but does not exhaust itself in polemics. Rather, it masterfully translates the complexities of its underlying central themes into a visceral narrative.
Efia
was originally conceived as a commissioned work for the 2019 edition of Hamburg's Noisexistance festival and departed from a sentence uttered in the British 1980s TV show
Sapphire & Steel
which inspired cultural theorist
Mark Fisher
in his analysis of what he had coined "hauntology," a term originally coined by the Algerian-French philosopher
Jacques Derrida
in the early 1990s: "
There is no time here, not anymore.
" The album again showcases Rosaceae's knack for combining abstract experimental sound art with a form of storytelling that had already been at the center of
Nadia's Escape
and which relies on both verbal and musical means of giving a voice to the voiceless. The disembodied voice of -- amongst others --
Jesseline Preach
and manipulated vocal samples blend in with dense soundscapes, elements of neue musik and occasional pure harsh noise. It's a mix that deliberately puts different artistic traditions into a dialogue with each other: the hallmarks of European salon culture are confronted with Kurdish wedding music and the unnerving loop of someone demanding a "Zugabe" ("encore"). Thus,
Efia
not only blurs the lines between cultural and regional traditions, but also conjures up the ghosts of a past, ghosts that are more than ready to haunt the timeless present trying so hard to repress the atrocities happening at its fringes. As a whole, this makes
Efia
both a chilling work of sound art and a vibrant political statement fueled by burning hot energy.
