Info

We’re immensely happy to present a new release: an album by composer Jacob Richards-Curry (Melbourne), operating under the name Puscha. His modular experiments had a healing effect on us a few years ago (and yes — we recommend taking your own dose).

To our ears, Not That Special is a deeply personal reflection on the (im)possibility of contemplation and shared experience in an age of hyperconsumption. The music retains its signature polyrhythms, yet differs from earlier works in what feels like a more deliberate, meticulous approach to sound design.

In the artist’s own words:

"...Who knew that into the first quarter of this century we'd experience such an incessant stream of void fillers. We fill our in between moments, our background moments, our full focus moments, with sound and vision that divert our attention between everything from light entertainment to unfathomable suffering. The algorithms are our Gods. Here is another album, it's Not That Special, because there's a lot more to care about right now. But maybe you will find something meaningful to you. I certainly went deep. It's something of an artefact of a personal metamorphosis. Since my last release I became a parent and managed, somehow, to make an album in between sleepless nights, strict routines, and a new and profound experience of parental love. Will this album find its way to you through the vast ocean of cyberspace amongst hyperviolent realities and self-generated mimicry? It doesn't really matter either way, as the period of creation was deeply special to me. I'm prepared to share this with the void...."
