{"product_id":"pre-order-sigils-for-survival-lp","title":"Octo Octa - Sigils For Survival [2LP]","description":"\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed producer, DJ, and dancefloor healer Octo Octa (Maya Bouldry-Morrison) announces her fourth full-length album, \u003cem\u003eSigils For Survival\u003c\/em\u003e. Following 2013's \u003cem\u003eBetween Two Selves\u003c\/em\u003e, 2017's \u003cem\u003eWhere Are We Going?\u003c\/em\u003e, and 2019's \u003cem\u003eResonant Body\u003c\/em\u003e, the new record marks a decade since Maya publicly came out as transgender in November 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As an autobiographical artist, I set out to write an album that would be a milestone for this past decade of joy and sorrow,\" Maya explains. \"\u003cem\u003eSigils For Survival \u003c\/em\u003eis my attempt to encapsulate the intentions and techniques that I used to move through life into a spell.\" For each of the record's eight tracks, Maya drew a sigil. Each is a personal symbol intended to \"bind magic to the song and seal it's intention.\" These drawings appear throughout the physical edition's design. Maya's sister, New York artist Hope Morrison, incorporated each sigil into her original paintings, which comprise the album's vivid artwork. Hope Morrison, whose imagery translates the sigils' energy into vivid form; the layout was designed by Joao Ervedosa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated entirely on hardware instruments and later mixed in Logic, \u003cem\u003eSigils For Survival\u003c\/em\u003e captures the tactile immediacy of live performance. Maya preserved the feel of MIDI-clock drift and off-grid recording, letting her machines interact in the rhythmic pocket, rather than confirming them to a click. Alongside her signature deep, ecstatic electronics, the album features hand-played dulcimer, hand-pan, and recorder. Her voice also returns, carrying spells of love, protection, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross \u003cem\u003eSigils For Survival\u003c\/em\u003e, Octo Octa channels the ecstatic house lineage into an intimate ritual space. The music speaks of immediacy, play, and communion - of magic as method, love as survival, and sound as spellcraft. The album closes with a poem Maya wrote while finishing the record:\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI commit my voice to complete this spell \/ An artifact binding the seal \/ Pushing the incantation to turn again In effort now to heal \/ Alchemical messages spun in song \/ Wheel open the door \/ Ten years of finally living life \/ I'll fight to conjure more\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSigils For Survival\u003c\/em\u003e is both a document of ten years lived fully and an invocation for the next chapter - a glowing testament to music's power to protect, transform, and set the spirit free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 899123053174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e T4T Luv NRG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.1.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"URP MUSIC DISTRIBUTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51973463015726,"sku":"N899123053174","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/7856\/0814\/files\/Octo_Octa_-_Sigils_For_Survival.png?v=1782747925","url":"https:\/\/parkavecds.shop\/products\/pre-order-sigils-for-survival-lp","provider":"Park Ave CDs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
