about

Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist AYEN GL returns with BIOME, a six-track EP of distorted club deconstructions, and a statement of intent from an artist shedding her skin to build a new identity. BIOME is out April 10th on AYEN GL’s own Plush Ember imprint.

Following on from last year’s debut EP, Limited Vision - a project marked by introspective vulnerability - BIOME signals a new era of world-building for AYEN in which she embraces her wounds and unapologetically commands the narrative.

The ‘biome’ itself functions here as a dystopian place of anxiety and fantasy. AYEN elaborates:

“The biome is for me a very rotten place. It’s like a hologram of a small town, like the suburban version of the 2049 blade runner L.A. - imagine a kind of ashy and dusty setting. The biome is an arena to stage the screenplay for what I’m most scared of, and also to live out what brings me the most pleasure. So it’s also sexual satisfaction. It’s both.”

From this uncanny place, she plays with genre, sound and feeling with the expanse of a true visionary, switching dexterously between styles and sonic tapestries in total control of her craft. Her vocals permeate with surreal ethereality through harsh distortions and cold rhythmic frameworks, toying with the ebb and flow of affect and emotion throughout the entire EP.

What began as a musical project built to shelter the artist from a painful reality on her debut EP re-emerges as a cunty testament to the power of embracing one’s infinite potential.
