about the record selection

Curated by John Also Bennett for RVNG, these three albums have a darker and more focused tinge. According to JAB, Oliver Coates' skins n slime is a heavy duty drone-metal membrane for the depths of December while Lucrecia Dalt's RVNG debut Anticlines probes deep geological anomalies. Sugai Ken's UkabazUmorezU is his personal favorite from the RVNG catalog, a tapestry of surrealist, sculpted night-time imagery with a mild dose of mischievous humor. Perfect for those times when leaning into melancholic strangeness is the best way out of it.
