The aforementioned festival networks necessarily change and shift. The onlookers become the artists, the artists find new horizons, and the spaces for these cycles fade into locales of a distant memory. It seems, from my perspective, that audiences currently yearn for a more bottlenecked experience, searching for some ontologically vetted manifestation of an idea, of a sound and less for an experience that functions in opposition to our collective banalities. This makes sense in the face of general global catastrophism that plagues us. We need certainty of what something is somewhere, don’t we? Noise as an idea has expanded and contracted to so many iterations of itself it is hard to tell what it even is, and it is particularly difficult to identify in the absence of solid network activations a moment to reflect on its own complexities and nuances. In the face of so much change, I argue that the language of noise culture at large has on one hand become increasingly didactic and predictable, and laughably inclusive and non linear on the other. Probably has always been this way, but now we are in the midst of a moment of extreme access and indexicality, which somehow cauterizes expansion and naivety and chance.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis record highlights the Secret Boyfriend that obscures didacticism by highlighting output that opens up for more challenging catharsis and emotive signal processing. It provides an entry to the materialism of a cultural field full of ecstatic complexity and beautiful inconsistency. In these muted moments Secret Boyfriend has given us over his career we have an argument for evolving languages that further challenge our notions of what is supposed to happen and how it is supposed to be presented. In his more song oriented expansiveness, we can punctuate the ability to think in new modalities. Listening to these recordings reminds me of the polarity of sitting in the record store as a kid and understanding that His Name Is Alive is on 4AD and (gasp!) timeSTEREO. This trite early impression that nothing is really as different as our imaginations might want them to be, and that we can do whatever we want mostly within the creative realms we work through is an important filter to look through Secret Boyfriend as a project and a vessel. If we can achieve abandon and vulnerability through our artistic endeavors, then we have a sound model for, maybe, new potentialities. If that’s too much projection, or just complete liberal bullshit, I am fine with that. Secret Boyfriend's oeuvre at best offers us moments of reprieve to ponder these complexities, or at least a moment to zone out on a drive through North Carolina Highway 54...\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : Secret Boyfriend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : Enmossed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-07-04T16:15:27+09:00","created_at":"2024-07-04T16:03:41+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","enmossed","folk \/ left-field pop","lp","new","recommended"],"price":444000,"price_min":444000,"price_max":444000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46350881456378,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Secret Boyfriend \/\/ Listener's Guide LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":444000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide1.jpg?v=1720076376","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide2.jpg?v=1720076376"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide1.jpg?v=1720076376","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":34475257004282,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide1.jpg?v=1720076376"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide1.jpg?v=1720076376","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":34475257037050,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide2.jpg?v=1720076376"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/guide2.jpg?v=1720076376","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e※8月下旬再入荷後発送します\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・ノースカロライナの実験レーベルHot Releases主宰Secret Boyfriendが、2024年7月にノースカロライナの実験／ダンスレーベルenmossedから100部限定でリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアンビエント・ポップ〜アンビエント10曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e版元即完のため今回限りの入荷となります。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2200540347\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsd\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsd\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsd\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/emsd\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to see more Enmossed releases available at Tobira.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e---------------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes DL code. 12\" black vinyl.
