A new imprint presenting music and visual media across a variety of formats. The outlet launches with an original 4 track EP: When It Rains.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Christening the label with his first full length release since 2021, the subversive producer steps out from behind the curtain with a batch of tracks guaranteed to soothe psychic woes and challenge sound systems alike.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e True to the name of the label, this debut release delivers a healthy dose of leftfield club weight. Tough and tender in equal measure, it’s a record that explores in-between zones. A fever dream of narrative experiments at the outer edges of club music, packing enough punch to shake a dancefloor, but enough delicacy to soundtrack the ride home. The final product is a meeting of outsider sonics and sleazy dance tropes, body music for restless minds.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The record begins with the lead single ‘RPG’ (A1). A smoked out, drug chug power ballad featuring fellow NYC underground alum James K. Anchored around a growling 4\/4 battle beat, swells of dub and inchoate vocal cries rise intermittently from the haze. Within the fever dream fugue of thuggish sub weight and engine-room crud, a tender, sustained warmth shimmers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A2’s ‘I Get Such Bad Headaches’ is a twisted club thumper built around a questioning vocal refrain. It’s a tongue in cheek nod to the label’s origins that takes shape in a sleazy beat track with some serious club weight. Slowed n’ chopped to the maximum, it’s a low slung sleeper-hit with attitude. DJ Screw meets Tylenol PM, a bass-boosted anthem for the neural punishment enjoyer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The B-side opens with the title track, ‘When It Rains (It Pours)’, a droned out mess of distant voices and textural grit. Anchored around the titular looping axiom, the track has a deathly, abyssal weight to it. A claustrophobic hymn of surrender, faithful to its stark refrain.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ‘Bad Blood’ wraps the record on a tender note. A sluggish heartbeat pumps beneath the fog of dub delays and distortion, propelling forward a lethargic rhythm. Out of nowhere a blissed out synth line pierces the tension. A sharp, emotive melody disrupting the paramnesia with something new. If the record’s title track suggests a downward spiral through some psychic storm, then ‘Bad Blood’ shows the outline of dry land coming slowly into focus.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Art Direction by Ciaran Birch \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Pain Management","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43728796680348,"sku":"PM 001","price":14.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/unnamed_2_ae5c04d4-8b4a-4869-b28d-54bda86e461a.jpg?v=1716322822","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/significant-other-when-it-rains","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
