about

2021 – the Axis tilts again. Feedback loops, patterns begetting patterns... fracturing, splintering, diverging, convalescing….these are fractals on which we build. The lead track is also the molten core of the EP, a phase repeat/radical evolution of prior Axis: Sova mischiefs: “Fractal Ancestry” washed ashore on Early Surf five years ago, and has since been subjected to relentless live outings in the hands of Axii Kaiser, Freeze, and Sova. In naturally mutated form, it has become “Fractal USA”.

This sister sits with other misters recorded at various moments before/during/after the recent time blip - “Fractal USA” following the Shampoo You tour year; “Caramel” and “(Don’t Wanna Have That) Dream” secreted secretly, under masked-and-distanced lock-down; and “Dying To Meet You,” a long-form full band jam from the vault edited, spliced, and dubbed to meet this EP’s needs. The through-line of the batch is hypnosis: dialed-in, zoned-outery, from altered beast to blasted jam via dub-fried space lullabying in Denudes puree. With Sova smelting trademark molten guitar licks and fusing several of his most irresistibly delicate vocals to date to the finely-rendered compounds, the Fractal EP makes gains from losses, from the repetition, the patterns, the fractals. Evolution is inevitable, reinvention the key – unlock it in you with Axis: Sova’s "Fractal".

about

Axis: Sova Chicago, Illinois

"Some heavily blasted version of what pop could sound like on other planets." Brett Sova plays guitar and sings, Jeremy Freeze plays bass and sings, and Josh Johannpeter plays drums. This is the newest iteration of a longstanding musical idea, one that was formed by Brett as a solo bedroom-guitar-noise-with-drum-machine endeavor over a decade ago and has mutated all the way to the present group. ... more

No Island
by Winged Wheel

"No Island" sort of springs out of nowhere, and fills that void with a full and vibrant whole that is much more than the sum of its parts, it sublimates at least thirty years of alternative rock and blends noise-rock, ambient, drone, dream-pop, garage-rock, psychedelia, deforms previous languages and creates a new one capable of telling a new world. paolo latini
