Overview

The World I Want Would Be Celestial, Wet --- 2022-09-13

☆ A glass half-full. The World I Want Would Be Celestial, Wet is the first full-length release from record label, Absorb. The eagerly awaited compilation features acclaimed and lesser-known artists, presenting thirteen works made between 2020 and 2021. Classical re-presentations, squealing electronics and other "wait-for-it" moments are pieced together by label head, Kavil and the ethereal work of painter, Matthew Asling. The result is something windy and heady. A feeling that is drifting. Crucially, the double LP serves as a timestamp of a very special chapter of contemporary experimental music being made in Naarm (Melbourne) and its surrounds. Taken in, soaked up, gleaming. Absorb acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation and the Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri people as the Custodians of the lands on which this publication was produced. So-called Australia is stolen land, where sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Artists (A-Z): Abby Sundborn, Adrien Ordonneau, Bridget Chappell, Chi Tran, Chloë Sobek, Claudia Sinacori, Cosmo Halafov-Renfree, Emily Fishpool, Justin Cantrell, Lei Lei Kung, Lily Tait, Matt Sabbadini, Nick Ashwood and Yoni Bresley.
