Introducing Auld White Label: The Experimental Quartet Redefining Soundscapes with “Tangents” EP

Powerful 4 Piece Auld White Label Unleashes EP Tangents – A Genre-defining Creation Like No Other The music industry is in for a treat as Scotland’s own Auld White Label announces the release of their much-awaited EP, Tangents, on 31/1/25. 

Lead single “Chapter 1” sets the tone for what promises to be a groundbreaking project that combines elements of Mogwai, Aphex Twin, Hot Chip, Postal Service, and Arab Strap. “Chapter 1” is an avant-garde masterpiece that invites listeners into a world of industrial soundscapes and chopped up vocals. The hypnotic track showcases the band’s ability to weave together diverse sounds, creating a textured and engaging experience. This track, along with the other three songs on the EP, revolves around the theme of death and rebirth, making for a thought-provoking and immersive journey. 

Tangents is a tribute to the idea that life never truly ends, it simply takes on a different form. The EP effortlessly blends genres like shoegaze, electronica, synthwave, and IDM, showcasing the band’s versatility and unique sound. The cover art, an abstract painting of a mushroom, beautifully captures the essence of the project and its central theme. One of the most fascinating aspects of Tangents is the band’s writing process. Each member contributed their own track, which were then brought together and shaped into a cohesive and powerful EP. 

This experimental method of group composition is a testament to Auld White Label’s innovative approach to music-making. The band’s journey to this point has been nothing short of remarkable. Formed on the brink of lockdown, Auld White Label has already released two concept albums to critical acclaim. They also contributed their song “Quiet the Sea Change” to the charity album Northern Strangers, with proceeds going towards Scottish Action for Mental Health. Tangents was recorded, mixed, and mastered by the renowned Andy Miller (Mogwai, Songs: Ohia, Life Without Buildings) at Garglblast Studios in Hamilton near Glasgow. It is set to be released on all major platforms, and it’s safe to say that Auld White Label’s EP is a project that demands to be heard. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this genre-defining creation from one of Scotland’s most promising acts.
