Product Overview
Darkstar - Civic Jams (Vinyl) Darkstar announce their fourth album ØCivic JamsÙ for release on Warp. On their most personal record to date, Darkstar counterbalance observations of their home with those of the community surrounding it. ØCivic JamsÙ is a photonegative of a dance record shaped by a dialogue between shoegaze atmospherics and UK bass musicÙs Øhardcore continuumÙ. TheyÙve covered a lot of ground from the introspective expanse of their debut ØNorthÙ [2010], to utopian visions of society in ØNews From NowhereÙ [2013] and the unique dynamics of a pre-Brexit northern England on ØFoam IslandÙ [2015]. Patterns of isolation are increasingly easy to fall into, especially when public spaces where people play, socialise, dance and protest are closed. ØCivic JamsÙ is about reminiscing over loss, whilst moving forward with those we love. It offers an abstract look at lifeÙs nuances and the search to find something to hold on to and enjoy.
