Preface

Avant-art-rock trio from East London, Mohit release their debut album, titled Preface. The concept behind Preface is to showcase the band’s development and exploration with different processes of writing in a collection of 9 unique pieces - bleeding across many methods, yet it retains a distinctly Mohit style.

Yoghurt is the seed that began the sonic journey that led to the sound and shape of Mohit. Many of the avenues explored in other songs are present in this piece; the use of loops, beat-lead sections, evocative harmonies and sonic landscapes, stretching to the most intense moments.

Racek encompasses the myth of the Siren, the death ritual of the seagull, and falling overboard into a storm-tossed ocean. The composition sways between expansive, elevated instrumental movements with intensity and drama, back to broad droning segments.

Forming from the spiritual experience of one of the members, Infinite Decay tries to deliver the human place in the cosmos. The relentless looping of vocals echoes the eternity of the idea, as the song ends in a long droning groove, which builds, evolves, and takes new forms towards its eventual close.

Steady Evil showcases the trio interacting with their more vulnerable side. Lyrically connecting mindless media consumption - going down a Youtube tunnel in a daze of non-eventual monotony - the sonic palette of the song drifts through lethargic spaces to mimic the sentiment.

Elements of the unforeseen preclude more expectable structural motifs - and it is juxtapositions of these opposite approaches intermingling, which give in to a haunting sound that is both inwardly personal and intimate, and outwardly challenging.

For fans of Cocteau Twins, Can, Broadcast, Crack Cloud, Squid and Ulrika Space.
