Listening to Linja's debut LP makes one think of Polish director Yuri Norstein's gloomy melancholic (yet playful) movies, or perhaps just of a rainy day, or Chopin. Velvet Noise is a collection of seven experimental pieces made by Linja sometime around 2016-2017, using drum ma- chines and a lot of modular synthesizers. The album is woven with simple melodies that crack through the squeaks and the bleeps, eerie pads that fill the voids all sorts of FX. The atmosphere becomes filled with tension when it is playing in the room, as if something is clearly about to happen. Linja's album is not so easy to describe, and yet due to its coherence and storytelling it has a certain feel and personality of a good book rather than just a record. "It transcends its existence as a record." Features MY and DJ Tinder.
