Supporting unknown bands since 2017
Hi, thank you for visiting the blog and checking this article, as you can see on the website the album of the week this time is for our dear friend’s “Occurrence” with their double album “Slow Violence”. If you still haven’t listened to it, you need to do it ASPA, and also in the top 3 we have the debut album by Butterfly Garden, and after more than 10 years Mattis Antonsson is back with a brand new EP.
Slow Violence by Occurrence is a massive collection of twenty-two songs, showcasing all of the trio’s abilities at once. Over the course of the record, we see the band creating powerful music, with dreamy atmospheres and vocal melodies alongside crashing percussion and a somewhat industrial influence.
“This song is about every breakup, ever. I mined all the details of my relationships as if they were film stills or a slide projector show, really trying to make it visually resonant”, singer Cat Hollyer herself says of “The Remote Past Tense” by Occurrence
The nature of the upcoming occurrence album is not only experimental but according to the band a step further into introspection in which they’ve expressed being extremely proud of the record, but also “a little bit scared of it.” In the creative process, they went down a rabbit hole of exploration into dark subject matter, explicit sexual expression, as well as the joys of love.
The term ‘slow violence’ comes from environmental studies. It describes ecological harm that happens imperceptibly in a community; you only realize that it’s happening once it’s too late. That feels to us like an apt metaphor for the things we’re singing about on this album. Occurrence /Ken Urban
“I was in an on again and off again relationship with a guy named Matt. I don’t know how many times we broke up and got back together. I was so scared to show who I was and reveal my secrets to someone I knew. I was scared to imagine my life without him. I would stay home some weekends in a terrible mental loop obsessing over things that had happened. I couldn’t forgive him and I couldn’t move on. I didn’t fit into his lifestyle and I wasn’t doing much with my music. Abby London
