Avian's 16th release is coming from Alessandro Cortini under the name Skarn. Best known for his work with Trent Reznor both in Nine Inch Nails and How To Destroy Angels, the Italian producer just recently made his debut on Hospital Productions with the hugely acclaimed ‘Sonno’ LP. His new project Skarn sees Cortini take a turn into more technoid driving soundscapes, which makes Shifted’s Avian label the perfect fit for it. The EP features three tube driven noise workouts with a precise minimalism and a hypnotic drum pattern, which leads the way through the release.

British producer Pris preps his sophomore EP for Avian. Love, Labour, Loss marks the Berlin-based producer’s second outing on Guy Brewer’s Avian label, and a further refinement of a production aesthetic that pitches caustic, heads down tool Techno & greyscale IDM against more meditative Ambient & Drone recordings. AVN026 tackles familiar themes, and the same low slung, deep-seated sense of unease found on earlier offerings, released via both Avian itself & Unbeknown To Us - the producer’s own outlet, winds its way in and amongst the work. There’s a lightness of touch to this most recent effort though, and experimentation with more overtly musical sequences proves fruitful, drawing on a previously untapped energy to great effect. The same goes for forays into more complex rhythmic structures - taught, processed percussion sits bright in the mix, working to generate an anxiety that is fast becoming a hallmark of the artist’s work. Whilst the material maintains a keen focus on the crushed, droning sonics that have come to characterise the label’s output, Love Labour Loss, is an impressive development - offering at once both a new dimension to the artist’s work, but also a congruent, streamlined addition to the Pris discography.

Avian's first release since absorbing its sister label Mira comes from Chicago based musician Connor Camburn under the alias Litüus, with an entirely beatless collection that well establishes Avian as the home for the kind of searching electronic experimentation that would have been found on the ten-inch focused imprint that Shifted recently announced would merge with its parent label. The EP follows previous cassette releases under the Litüus name for Brave Mysteries, Notice Recordings and Mazurka Editions and comprised entirely of real time single-take recordings on hardware instrumentation. Shorn of percussive elements yet not without their own rhythmic structures, Camburn's six compositions are free of immediate electronic genre influences and instead draw primarily on non-musical inspiration in addition to various other contextual reference points, as he sought to express ideas of the unraveling or "de-composition" of musical or architectural spaces through musical forms imagined as inverted contours and negative spaces.

Sigha returns to Avian for his first release of 2015, with a distillation of the processes that made up 'The Purification Loops', also released on Avian in 2014. Written shortly after this release, 'Techno Derivatives' continues its concept of rite, ritual and repetition, setting stuttered rhythm and synth work against a backdrop of low end hum.

Guy Brewer returns to his Avian label with a a two-part EP, Arrangements In Monochrome - his first Shifted releases since last year's Hospital Productions album 'Under A Single Banner'. Although not conceived as an album project, Arrangements In Monochrome's two EPs can be viewed together as a single entity - the result of Brewer's continuing exploration of textured noise excursions and muscular techno of considerable drive and heft, all the while retaining a cinematic quality within its quieter moments. The simultaneous release of the two EPs arrives in December, bringing to a close a year that has seen Avian release the sophomore album of Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH and EPs from Sigha and Alessandro Cortini's Skarn alias.

A year after their much-praised debut album STRGTHS, Avian's cryptic Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH are ready to present their second album, Linear S Decoded, this August. From the elegiac opener Entering The S-Cloud, the intensity of tracks such as Elocution and Rudimental Retreat, to the disorienting beauty of Wading Guise and aptly-titled closer Monolithic Conclusion, the LP deftly broadens the scope of SHXCXCHCXSH's singular aesthetic. Keeping their mystic aura has always been important to SHXCXCHCXSH - so important they didn’t want to take part in what they deemed 'the language game' until now. Their previous strict use of fragmented track titles illustrated an ideal of communication purely through music, to service the focus on sound via complete abstraction. Breaking the habit with Linear S Decoded doesn’t necessarily indicate a complete break with their approach, but an adjustment to the direction they have travelled since they first emerged two years ago. As Resident Advisor identified in a perceptive review of the previous LP, among SHXCXCHCXSH's key strengths is the imbuing of their productions with a narrative sense, a sonic progression that moves beyond techno's standard repetition - it's an element of their work that's heightened further on Linear S Decoded, pulling focus from the more grinding, brutalist elements of their distinct sound to reveal the more melodic, almost optimistic, elements that had previously remained in the shadows of the productions until now. The track titles themselves are evocative about the new record whilst revealing few specifics: no less intriguing than the clustered consonants of the prior release titles, hinting at deeper underlying narratives at play, possibly historically informed, or a fiction of the duo's own making. Either way, definitive answers will not be forthcoming: the mysteries that lay beneath SHXCXCHCXSH's approach to music making have long been an intrinsic part of their appeal. Linear S Decoded presents the opportunity for newcomers and those already au fait with the duo to employ their deciphering abilities, whilst simultaneously offering an expanded and ever more richly detailed landscape to traverse...

Behind Dual Action stands Mathew Folden from K.P., who presented his first solo cassette release for Dominick Fernow’s label in 2012. Dual Action combines the eerie atmospheric sound collage of crowded chinatown streets with the deafening silence of a new apartment and the hard industrial beats of subways and freeways. A dynamic, physical autonomism. Body complete

This April James Shaw follows last years caustic A Vision of Love project with a debut release as Sigha for Avian, blurring the lines between the dance floor and the ritual chamber. Over the course of six tracks scuffed rhythm and analogue bleed blend together, combining a techno aesthetic with something more primal. The tracks both lean on club tradition and abandon it, veering away from standard structure in places, in favour of fragmentation and prolonged repetition.

Avian’s first release in 2014 comes from the enigmatic Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH. Following their highly acclaimed debut LP STRGTHS, released last summer, the duo now returns with their fourth release for the label. The EP collects three staggering techno workouts with fragmented track titles in familiar manner. The A-side starts off straightforward with VVVLLLLVVV’s stabbing kick drum alongside an eerie melody that works its way through to the flip site. MRRRWRRRDS first embraces the listener with a warm, murky bass before falling into the fluttering beat that drives the track forward.

Two stripped down and hard-hitting techno tracks expose the series’ basic themes of SM, vintage gear and a passion for classic second wave Detroit music. With the relentless and dashing beats of 'A Modern Romance' on the A-side, accompanied by the relapsing cries of 'An Education' on the flip side, the release follows the aesthetics of the first instalment issued earlier this year...
