*2026 stock* Following his Affin debut Dolere in the summer of 2024 and his collaboration with Joachim Spieth and Markus Guentner on Arcadia, zakè returns to the imprint with his second solo album, Low Harmonics. As the title suggests, the record sinks into the lower depths of sound, shaped by heavy bass currents, low frequency drift, and slow moving vibration.
Low Harmonics extends the reflective world introduced on Dolere, which explored how time stretches during periods of sorrow and how sound can create a brief shelter from that weight. Where Dolere moved between ache and relief, this new album steps further into the inward, existential space beneath those emotions. Its use of deep, subterranean tones feels both intimate and vast, echoing the gravity of artists like Thomas Köner and the cold bloom of Geir Jenssen, while remaining rooted in Affin’s commitment to sound that lives outside the expected.
The result is a focused, elemental work. If Dolere drifted in slow waves of memory and dissolution, Low Harmonics sharpens its energy into something more distilled, a study of vibration and presence where patient listening reveals a quiet, undeniable pull.
