ONLY NOW - CAPTIVITY (LP)

"Captivity is the next highly anticipated extended EP by Kush Arora aka Only Now, following a triptych of self-released output in 2019. Continuing the project's ever evolving engagement with themes of time and existence, Captivity encompasses versatile synthesis, mutant kuduro, widescreen sound design, turbulent cold fronts of power ambient and melodic undertones of black metal. The introduction of new hardware - namely, the Nord Drum 3P synthesizer - as well as the incorporation of far-flung atmospherics - closing track 'Clock Lust' features field recordings from a trip to Kyoto - delivers fresh enterprise and experimentation, contributing to the expansion of a sound signature which remains as unpredictable and compelling as ever."
