PJS - PROTECTION
GRFRQ013
On the heels of global quarantine and months of seclusion and inward introspection, the year 2020 continues to shake our very foundations to the core while offering seismic shifts in the collective consciousness. In reverence for the spirit of these times, Golden Ratio Frequencies is honoured to welcome West Coast Turtle Island Lekwungan Territory situated duo PJS to the fold, by way of their latest offering, PROTECTION.
Despite forging a creative collaboration over a decade ago, the union of Patrick Dique and Jordan Christoff has only relatively recently begun to grace the wider world with their sonic tapestries. Since their 2018 debut “Sweet La Vie” (Leaving Records), the duo has released a cascade of over 11 creatively lauded works on labels such as Aural Canyon, Plus 100, Kudatah, Muzan Editions, and solo works with Salmon Universe and Constellation Tatsu, thusly earning them revered cult status amongst enthusiasts of ambient endeavours.
Regularly featured on our Golden Ratio Frequencies NTS Radio show, it brings our label immense joy to host PJS new work PROTECTION, consisting of two side-long pieces of gorgeous, ethereal soothers, that have become the duo's signature staple.
PROTECTION offers a subtle evolution in sound and sonic restraint, coupled with a delicate mastering by Matthew David McQueen (Leaving Records), delivering gentle waves of lush vapour-like texture, ebbing and flowing in and out of existence while enveloping the listener in blankets of calm.
Washing over one in layers of shimmer and radiance, A-side “Terraces” transports the listener to spirit states of serenity, while B-side “Particles” holds one afloat in its phosphorescent haze--the pairing of these two tracks creating an inner world of aural iridescence in the mind's eye.
Like a gleaming crystal or a precious gemstone--seemingly both otherworldly and yet formed by metamorphism deep within our Earth's core-- these soundscapes are gifted to us as two sonic talismans, offered in peace and protection, at a time in our collective existence when we are most in need.
