about

Hymns57, Torschlusspanik (Élan Vital Recordings, 2021)
The word “torschlusspanik” is the combination of three words, “gate-shut-panic.” Taken together, all three reference a modern-day anxiety that time is running out. The spacious, consuming arrangements throughout Hymns57’s Torschlusspanik, however, craft extensive passageways into another time outside and beyond time’s uncertainty. Tracks like “Sundown Rituals” along with “Time Slips” reverberate onwards and outward - seemingly expanding time by droning through it. Similarly, “Passerine’s” keys unravel slowly into an incessant, lulling patter that carries time away. Taken together, Torschlusspanik is a welcome balm that ameliorates the weary feelings that cannot be reconciled within the upsetting material conditions compounded by today’s normal time. By daring to operate outside its limitations, the record successfully and beautifully attempts to suspend the existential panic cultivated within the gates of time’s current, ongoing crisis.

- Joseph Shea-Carter
