James Krivchenia

Performing Belief

£27.99

Released: 2nd May 2025. Following the hyperactive 'Blood Karaoke', 'Performing Belief' builds rhythmic thickets from gathered sounds interwoven with synths, drum machines and other samples. Having built these rhythmic nests, Krivchenia then called on two contemporary mages of the low end: electric bassist and fellow Angeleno Sam Wilkes and double bassist/multi-instrumentalist from Krivchenia's native Chicago, Joshua Abrams. Wilkes and Abrams bring the presence of a grounding human witness to the rhythmic undergrowth, providing a centering and even at times melodic voice to the gathering. This alchemy carries a profoundly fresh sense of time, blurring the edges of the quantized grid and the generic boundaries of electronic music.
