Following work with poet Lucy Van (Figures, Purely Physical 2017) and a string of highly alluring sound parcels via her Careful podcast series, the Melbourne-London based producer, DJ, curator, and performer presents two solo pieces of ambience and deftly arranged instrument-voice interplay.
A space is found within a mix of DIY instrumentation, science fiction rumination and the melancholic exotica of possible pasts. The eponymous opener, ‘Like a Gun’ pushes and pulls between a place of pure darkness and crystal-clear dreamlike vision: stoic guitar plucks, gentle organ and synth washes are set against a subtle abrasiveness and hum. ‘Life out Here is Changing’, formed by layers of treated guitar that take centre stage, offers refuge for Sakini’s whispers - delivering an indecipherable yet tonally sombre message. Evoking a place spacious yet secretive, it understatedly exposes a tale of fatalism, memory, and “that gross feeling when reality hits”.
Like a Gun is a compelling precursor and future companion to Sakini’s forthcoming debut LP, due for release on Total Stasis in early 2020.
