Monoparts' debut with a nostalgic slice of triphop in Soothsayers

Our new release from Olga Wojciechowska and Tomasz Walkiewicz is out today

Comparisons to Lamb, Tricky, Portishead, Esthero’s ‘Breath’, “Various Productions era" and even... "a twisted take on Aaliyah"- have we got a crazy record on our hands, or simply a snapshot of how much an era of triphop influenced?

Either way, it’s a new style for us, but one we admire dearly and hope you do too. To top things off, the brilliant James Clements / ASC spins up a 90s-inspired DnB remix that harkens back to the liquid gold of Photek and the Moving Shadow era.

Take a trip back to the good times with us and be surprised at a completely new side of our dear Olga…

Olga Wojciechowska, known for her modern-classical masterpieces such as Infinite Distances (2019) and Unseen Traces (2020), as well as her 2022 collaboration with Scanner, breaks all known expectations with Soothsayers. In a dramatic departure, Olga unveils a new and unexpected side, debuting her haunting vocals—a delicate, spellbinding performance that recalls the golden era of trip-hop, and comparisons to the sounds pioneered by Tricky, Massive Attack, and Martina Topley-Bird.

With Tomasz adding layers of depth through intricate beats and electronics, Olga’s voice becomes the emotional core of the record, conjuring an intimate and nostalgic atmosphere.

"This album is like becoming one with the earth itself—feeling the rawness of the wood, tasting the earth in your mouth, and sensing the presence of ancient spirits. The music carries a deep, primal energy, like being part of the forest, with creatures watching you from the shadows." - Olga Wojciechowska

To complete the journey, ASC lends his signature touch with a stunning drum’n’bass reinterpretation, amplifying the album’s nostalgic essence. Soothsayers emerges as a spellbinding ode to times gone by, in more ways than one.

Featuring artwork by Moon Patrol, with mastering and lacquer by Andreas LUPO Lubich, Soothsayers will be available on 12” maroon smoke-colored vinyl and Bandcamp on February 28th.

You won’t find this record on streaming services as of right now.
