Perila
Dust 22
Boomkat Product Review:
Utterly absorbing new tape from Berlin’s Perila (aka artist, DJ, and radio.syg.ma co-founder Sasha Zakharenko) for LA’s Motion Ward, following the psychosexual intimacy of her exceptional 2019 debut for sferic and a cassette with TTT.
Lodging alongside uon and Brown Irvin on the Cali imprint, ‘Rust 22’ imparts its message by atmospheric inference rather than the more literal grip evoked by Nat Marcus and Inger Wold Lund’s vocals in Perila’s previous side, ‘Irer Dent’, which was surely among the most memorable of 2019. Save for some extra subtle, glossolalic murmurs, the session focusses on the Berlin-based Russian artist’s gift for conjuring a sense of ambient modernism that’s clearly steeped in classic vibes, yet doesn’t feel beholden to them, and neatly identifies her music amid a growing and boundary-shifting new field of atmospheric music operators.
The tape presents a 21 minute blissed smudge backed with a trio of studio cuts that share a feel a similar feel for sylvan synth strokes and hallucinogenic depth perception. That long cut is a reel beauty, conducting a subliminal transition from blue, subaquatic tones to shimmering chimes and a siltier sort of submariner’s melancholy, before concluding with an optimistic flourish in ‘Ripple22’. Her other three cuts, meanwhile, seep out of the edges to occupy a fuller soundfield, beautifully massaging tranquil new age influences with a more uncertain, underlying, textural anxiety in ‘Transient’, while ‘Distant’ sounds as though she’s turned location recordings of a metalworks into soft focus lushness, and the bass rhythms of ‘Perpetual’ move ever forward with a physics-defying dreaminess that’s hard to describe but a total pleasure to undergo.
We hardly need to emphasise it but this one’s a doozy.
