about

Our society is now a society of productivity. But to understand productivity, measurement is necessary. In order to create things for the lowest possible cost we have embraced productivity and made measurement central to our society.

This activity has raised the standard of living worldwide. This is undoubtedly a good thing. However, productivity and measurement - these are not a philosophy for life.

Our society is now a high-speed society. In work, leisure, and even romance, our lives are being turned in to data and measured. And as such we begin to move faster and faster in the name of productivity and efficiency. Perhaps we can even say that the working of our minds is being sped up.

Through this phenomenon, our experience of time and space is distorted. In the endless flow of tasks we have no time for reflection. In such a condition, free time becomes wasted time. Contemplation cannot be measured, and thus is not productive. It is not efficient. If one accepts this way of thinking, then speeding oneself up is the only option.

However, appreciating the beauty of nature, loving someone, understanding oneself deeply - these are not measurable experiences. We cannot increase their efficiency. The essential experiences of life require time. Not productive time, but living time.

Umé Records presents the album "Malahat" by PJS, who reside on Lekwungen and Cowichan Tribes unceded territory on the West coast of "Canada".

Zefan Sramek

"Plant life aquatic spa vibes, glistening and basking in the glow over 50 endearing minutes. Side A’s Natures often features a liquidity flowing through its choices of textures, as if rain was moving down wind chimes or into small puddles. Echoes of aberrations or cryptids stop in, but never blow the delicate and coruscating nature of this piece. Meanwhile, Nebulas is a more astrally inclined longform. The harmonics of the piece give off faint traces of white dwarf half-lifes or starry romps aboard a slow-orbiting space station above a heavenly body. There’s a weightlessness across its 25 minutes, and the duo are careful not to try and speed the peace towards an escape velocity, instead letting glimmers and woodwind-esque textures pass like friendly space debris. It chills hard, and with majesty."

Matty McPherson via Tabs Out

"Two tracks and fifty minutes of soothing sonic immersion with the first side having a lighter New Age pulse that eases you into the weightier, exploratory deep space journey that awaits on the flip side."
