This is central to \u003ci\u003eX, wheel,\u003c\/i\u003e Heith’s debut album and first release on PAN. It’s a deep dive into his creative and spiritual practice, one where art and life are inextricable. Written and recorded across different studios in Milan, Rome and Florence between March, 2019, and January, 2020, eleven tracks cycle through a world of stylistic references—from psychedelia, psytrance and freak folk to stoner metal, noise and early electronic music—while remaining firmly a part of a singular vision.  The hypnotic nature of the release is translated in the album’s liner notes. It’s a collage of sorts, constructed from Heith’s own diary entries using the non-phonetic alphabet and linguistic experiment called “Angel’s Hair” developed with artist Pietro Agostoni. Together with contributions from ZU drummer Jacopo Battaglia and didgeridoo player Fabio Goldaniga, \u003ci\u003eX, wheel\u003c\/i\u003e is an exercise in creating new forms of meaning through sound, turning spectral vibration into conscious awareness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeith’s debut album \u003ci\u003eX,wheel\u003c\/i\u003e marked the beginning of a long journey, the start to a tortuous exploration of consciousness and spirit. The \u003ci\u003eLiars Tell...\u003c\/i\u003e, on the other hand, feels like a kind of respite, a moment of meditation and pause from the fatigue of dimensionhopping. As if the traveller dismounted their carriage and, standing puzzled on a crossroad, listened to the echoes of distant places. Occupying a liminal space and letting thousand of contradictory tales form the lyrics to one unfathomable song. This EP’s emphasis on the singing voice is itself not casual, but the focal point of a research on language and words, from their uncanny worlding power to their ultimate failure to deliver universally accessible truths. The human voice is treated as the most fragile of instruments, a spectral presence aided into matter by technology. The tonally ambiguous beauty in Heith’s processed singing stands to imitate the immanent wisdom of sacral inspiration while simultaneously belonging to a sketchy trickster. A divine liar is whispering into the ears of the somnambulist, instigating dangerous temptations of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":50791113228619,"sku":"2231993","price":64.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/heith-x-wheel-the-liars-tell.jpg?v=1758177970"},{"product_id":"escape-lounge","title":"Escape Lounge","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeith's music has always been infused with sacred mystery, striking a delicate balance between lived experience and imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eEscape Lounge\u003c\/em\u003e, his second full-length release for PAN, Heith draws inspiration from contemporary digital spirituality and interpretations of experience that are crossing over from cultural niches into the mainstream – including internet- based conspiracy theories and psychological operations. The album presents a sonic diary recorded across Milan, Berlin, London, and Stockholm, crafting a post-informational folklore while exploring new territories in personal songwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title \u003cem\u003eEscape Lounge\u003c\/em\u003e, inspired by airport waiting areas, serves as a metaphorical waiting room of the mind. Its hidden passages can lead either to peril and loss or to enlightenment and kaleidoscopic mental landscapes. This liminal space echoes the mysterious realms of Twin Peaks or the viral \"Backrooms\" phenomenon. Within it, contributing musicians – including frequent collaborators Leonardo Rubboli, Aase Nielsen, and 33 drummer Alexander Iezzi – move like ethereal presences, creating intangible soundscapes that leave traces of post-hypnotic melancholia. Notably, the vocal contributions from Price and James K enhance the otherworldly atmosphere, their multifaceted timbres adding layers of intentional ambiguity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the album, Heith masterfully blends acoustic instruments, human voices, and digital technology along an uncharted path that references the experimental pop of 90s trip-hop, 2000s indie-folk songwriting, and lush Mediterranean psychedelia. The sounds are meticulously crafted, combining synthesizers with guitar-based compositions in a computational songwriting approach that creates a collage across eras and landscapes. Each track unveils new dimensions of this delicate hallucinogenic narrative, delivering an immersive listening experience. As reality continuously shifts, \u003cem\u003eEscape Lounge\u003c\/em\u003e emerges as both sanctuary and confinement – a space of momentary connections and endless potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, Heith will debut a new live show and audiovisual collaboration titled 'The Talk' with James K and Günseli Yalcinkaya, commissioned and premiering at Sonar Festival, Terraforma, Nuit Sonores, and Reworks. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51661586727243,"sku":"R2369-4571","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_22.jpg?v=1744971199"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/heith.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
