about the cassette

Dutch artist Sander van der Toorn returns to Kit Records, following his much-loved work with analogue-decayed folk duo Love Is Yes in 2024. While Sander’s signature haze of tape-smeared synthesis and motorik guitar is ever present, kom-kom represents a departure from the Elysian warmth of Love Is Yes’s debut.

He cites the inspiration of Morton Feldman and Sarah Davachi when describing his work, less as a linear listening experience and more as a collection of sculptures that can be viewed from different angles. In this way, kom-kom does not have to press forward. The encounter can be one of stillness, of static objects given movement by the beholder’s shifting perspective.
