A
piece of paper may seem flimsy, but once it’s folded into something it
becomes stronger, its weakness suddenly transformed. That’s true for
people, too: Once you recognize your weaknesses you can shift them to
become your strengths. You can become like that piece of once-flimsy
paper, now folded into origami. That’s the premise behind Vinyl
Theatre’s dynamic second album, which takes the title Origami to
represent the idea that you have the power to reform your personal
limitations. The Milwaukee trio started writing the new music shortly
after finishing their 2014 debut album Electrogram, their first release
for Fueled By Ramen. The musicians found themselves deep in thought
while touring the country extensively over the past two years,
reconsidering how they wanted to project their ideas through their
songs. The goal of Origami was to tell a cohesive story, rather than
just gather tracks together, and Vinyl Theatre wrote nearly 40 songs,
beginning with one called “My Fault,” which encapsulates the main
message of the record. The final album spans nine songs,
each of which reveals a thoughtful message in its lyrics. “30 Seconds,” a
propulsive rocker, is about the brevity of life and how amazing it is
that we get any time here at all. The hopeful song asserts that we have a
birth date and a death date, but what’s really important is that dash
in between them. “New Machines,” a surging, layered number, embraces a
new sound for Vinyl Theatre. The compelling song asks whether there’s an
end to knowledge, exploring ideas of spirituality and how important it
is to keep searching for new ideas. It feels like the band’s most
thought-provoking and mature song to date. That sense of imagination and
open-minded consideration is an important facet to Origami overall.

When
Carl Garsbo landed in Gothenburg at the tail end of 2015, the Swedish
producer (better known as Kasbo) couldn’t sit still. “I felt inspired
beyond words,” says Garsbo, riding high from a recent trek with his
Counter Records labelmates ODESZA and the promising one-two punch of the
wildly expressive Umbrella Club EP and tear duct-tapping “World Away”
track, he didn’t waste any time. He got right back in the studio. Out
now through ODESZA’s own Foreign Family Collective and Counter Records,
“Places We Don’t Know” is the debut LP Garsbo’s merely hinted at for the
past four years. From its minimalist cover to its flurry of
endorphin-flooding melodies, the record is a widescreen example of how
buoyant house beats can make you dance and cry. “Places We Don’t Know”
has already garnered more than 26 million collective streams and has
seen tremendous support from Spotify and Apple Music. His album records
have received 38 inclusions to Spotify New Music Friday playlists and
170+ additions to Best of the Week on Apple Music. Kasbo has been
featured as the cover of massive playlists such as mint & Chill
Tracks, and was recently included in Billboard Dance’s One to Watch.
Garsbo isn’t letting the story end with these songs, either. The
producer has been applying his vision to an ambitious live show,
including recent packed performances at Coachella and Hangout Music
Festival that delivered on the promise of Kasbo’s previous appearances
(Okeechobee, Snowglobe, CRSSD). Kasbo recently finished his first
headline tour in North America, selling out every show. Kasbo supported
labelmates ODESZA for a string of dates and now joins them for a sold
out night at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Kasbo is confirmed
for major festival appearances including Electric Forest Music Festival,
Firefly Music Festival, and Splendour in the Grass.
