PULL & REPULSION – DEBUT ALBUM
Recorded in the ICP studios in Brussels by Stephen van Haestregt, mixed by Matthijs Kievit, and mastered by Pieter Kloos, MOULD’s debut album is set to drop on May 18, 2024 via Polderrecords.
With “Pull & Repulsion”, MOULD delves into various perspectives of duality. This theme is not only evident in the music but also in the lyrics, artwork, and logo. The visible and invisible worlds are separated by a delicate veil, and as you blink, the truth transforms into a distorted reflection. Cold, eerie, and dark – yet with all our senses, we need these ripples on the water’s surface to comprehend the world around us.
MOULD’s debut album is a celebration and embrace of what attracts and repels us. Brace yourselves for an exploration of sonic landscapes that will redefine your understanding of slow heaviness. Get ready to be engulfed in the energy and music as MOULD eagerly shares their creation with fellow lovers of heavy sounds. Stay tuned for an album that transcends boundaries and invites you into a realm where the visible and invisible collide!
