Mark 007 perfect ambient niceness, the first track is the least representative, after that it juts all melts together into one big dreamy tub of warmth

Edward Starting with a big bang, a storm, a birth...followed by a new world, sunshine, life. Closing my eyes listening to this and I am transported to a place of wonder, one that is rich and alive. Pariah has painted superb multidimensional soundscapes, enhanced by field recordings. Playing this all the way through like one cohesive journey, one life. I hope he continues to explore this direction, again in a hopeful and lively way. Thank you, Arthur, for creating this, it brings joy to my life.

Wyndham Rain Close your eyes when you listen to Linnaea. Make sure the house is still and there is nothing to distract you from your journey within. Follow the fractals to the edge of ecstacy and the exponential beating of the heart. Favorite track: Linnaea.

Michael Mueller Aside from the 'are you listening' burst of percussive synths partway through the first track, this is a seamlessly woven suite of ambient music.

Swathes of ebbing and flowing patterns that repeat and resolve, and rich in textural nuance.

Part of its appeal is the sense of effortlessness that it creates; as though the music here is as natural as breathing.

Ultimately, this music is a gently uplifting, life-affirming experience.

I've been playing it daily. Favorite track: Linnaea.

about

Houndstooth is pleased to announce the signing of Pariah for a debut full length, Here From Where We Are, due for release on July 13th 2018. The artist’s first release in six years marks a natural progression in his sound across nine interconnected pieces.

Arthur Cayzer was a relative late comer to dance music. He grew up in various hardcore and punk bands before moving to London and being swept away by dubstep. After just six months messing around making his own stuff on Logic, Pitchfork coverage piqued the interest of the legendary R&S, and over the next two years he released three EPs with the Belgian label. Each one showed subtle evolution and further established Pariah on the international scene.

Since then, Arthur has continued to DJ round the world and play live with Blawan as Karenn. Musically, though, he’s been adrift. With countless unfinished projects cluttering his hard drive, he felt he’d pressured himself into making the music people expected, rather than music that was an honest reflection of himself. It was only by taking a step back to analyse the music that has always resonated with him—and where, how, when and in what context it did—that gave him a renewed confidence in his work. After one track was finished, an album of coherent pieces naturally followed.

Although Here From Where We Are is inspired by a series of very personal reflections, responses and reactions, Arthur is keen for people to process it in their own way, free from interference. Opening with the transcendental ‘Log Jam’ which spills into the huge, empty and plaintive ‘Pith’, the artist distills his experiences into an album of nine moving, multi-layered tracks, where peculiar textures combine with rich harmonies and absorbing melodies into a heady mix of abstracted environments, formally structured songs and sound collages. Absorbing from start to finish, Here From Where We Are is a long overdue return and accomplished new direction for this rejuvenated producer.
