The Waves – MotOriKhErZ // Perlon – PERL134

A Matter of Pace, An Analog Memory unfolds as a journey shaped by rhythm, movement and shifting states of perception.

The record opens in a space of calm and vulnerability — careful steps on a clean slate, guided by Maayan Nidam’s subtle supervision. The mood gradually accelerates, moving into tribal-inflected rhythms and a playful, almost folkloric pulse. Energy builds in waves, alternating between grounded grooves and lighter, floating passages.

Fragments of analog memory surface throughout: daydream textures, motorik motion and rising sequences that blur the line between introspection and dancefloor drive. The narrative continues through moments of pause and reflection — light, water, echoes and refracted thoughts — before returning to deeper rhythmic insistence.

Themes of regeneration, repetition and forward motion shape the arc of the release. From restrained beginnings to a near-complete circle of pace, the journey becomes its own reward. The closing moments settle into a steady, mantra-like confidence — cyclical, immersive and wave-like in structure.
