@fire_toolz ‘Lavender Networks’ [WAP509] - the Warp debut, arriving 8 May Digital / 22 May Physical The flagship project of Chicago-based producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Angel Marcloid, Fire-Toolz draws ideas and signifiers from all corners of Marcloid’s vast ecosystem of solo monikers, collaborations and surreal maximalist visuals. Fire-Toolz productions feel like a cloud of colourful tags that you can catch like items in a video game if you listen well: cybergrind, metalcore, emo, screamo, glitch, grindcore, prog, IDM, New Age, post-vaporwave, noise, smooth jazz fusion, avant-garde, etc. But on ‘Lavender Networks’, her artistic freedom defies all definitions and labels, by melting them into something wholly unique. It’s the bottomless pit in the centre of a lush environment. First single ‘Balam =^..^= Says IPv09082024 Strawberry Head’ out now alongside video by @cestainsi.funfactory

Link in bio to playlist. “I included a small handful of my projects (FT, Nonlocal Forecast, MindSpring Memories, and World Of White Ice), and the rest is other stuff. These songs regulate me, and don't demand some huge reaction. I suppose the huge reaction is internal, because they are all very emotionally gripping for me. They aren't background music or anything disposable. They are plenty engaging, but somehow not invasive. Even the White Suns track...it might be one of their most restrained songs. Then again, the Work Of Art track is super lively and makes a big impression. I suppose it's all more emotionally absorbable than a lot of other mixes I make. The point of it is to prevent destabilization, even if it feels sad or hyper-joyous... The John Martyn song is both heartbreaking and healing. The Christopher Cross song is just as whimsical as it is nostalgic. But it still makes me want to sit in a chair and take it in, rather than dancing like Chris probably intended. Lastly, it sure is hard to find my favorite noise & experimental releases on streaming platforms, or else I would've included more of it. Just imagine I added like 3 full Stare Case (Nate & John of Wolf Eyes) cassettes at the end of this, and then maybe a live Iasos set that no one filmed and has been lost to time." - @fire_toolz for @herbsundays
