PREMIERE: Sarah Wreath - 光と影 (Hikari to Kage) [Wabi Sabi Audio Imprint]
Sarah Wreath is building something solid. After turning heads with her contribution to Sandwell District’s End Beginnings, she steps forward with 光と影 (Hikari to Kage), a new EP on a promising Dutch label Wabi Sabi Audio Imprint. It’s a compact, carefully crafted release featuring two originals accompanied by remixes from Pianeti Sintetici, HI-C, and label founder Jorge Fons. If you’re into vinyl and care about detail, this one is for the shelf.
The title track opens with restraint: low-end pressure, drawn-out pads, and a pulse that feels lived-in. Over time, acid stabs and spacey synths slip in, not to explode, but to shift the atmosphere. There’s a suggestion of movement in the title, but the track doesn’t chase light or fall into darkness. It stays in the grey, in the tension. It’s subtle, textural, and confident in its stillness.
光と影 (Hikari to Kage) releases June 6 via Wabi Sabi’s Bandcamp.
