about

Chicago-by-way-of-Portland musician Dominic Voz fuses ambient, classical, spoken word, and deconstructed dance music into an album of visceral beauty and heady ideas. Grappling with themes of urban contestation and dispossession, 'Right to the City' celebrates our communal fabric in the face of contemporary capitalism’s social stratification and endemic violence. The album is the first co-release between Accidental Records, renowned electronic musician Matthew Herbert’s hub of experimental releases, and Portland’s Beacon Sound, a stalwart of gorgeous and innovative music from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The album features several collaborators, including Patricia Wolf (Balmat) and Jonathan Sielaff of Golden Retriever (Thrill Jockey).

"What the press release describes as 'a process of fractured storytelling' feels entirely accurate, for it is an album that embraces the dichotomous energy of its city-subject, alluring and formidable alike. And, much like the modern city, it is a work of astonishing synthesis, pulling together a broad range of well-rendered textures to produce a surprisingly complex journey to a beautiful, if occasionally overwhelming, future." – Daniel Hignell, The Quietus

"Chicago’s Dominic Voz twists countless disparate sonic threads into something unique and beguiling...Right to the City is an intoxicating blend of ambient, spoken word, classical, and deconstructed electronic music alive in a world of glitches and gorgeous landscapes." – Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis

"Sound-art and social justice are at the heart of the work of Chicago-via Portland artist Dominic Voz. His Portland origins connect him with the adventurous Beacon Sound, who are co-releasing his new album Right To The City with Matthew Herbert's Accidental Records...It's a beautiful combination of early-'00s style folktronic acoustic manipulation, '90s early jazz-fusion postrock and contemporary sound-art ambient. You're gonna love it." – Peter Hollo, Utility Fog radio show

"Forest Brook’s cover art paints an urban picture without words, in the same manner as Voz composes a sonic snapshot, also (for the most part) without words. One can glean the message in the titles, including “Oxycodone” (which refers to the opioid crisis) and “Las Cuentas” (“The Bills”). But the largest statement is made at the very end, in the stunning 'Home'...We hope our listeners do not try to fall asleep to this record." – Richard Allen, A Closer Listen

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

by Sontag Shogun x Lau Nau

supported by 9 fans who also own “Right To The City”

Beautiful intimacy has always been something of Sontag Shogun's music, and this new record, thanks to the collaboration with Lau Nau has taken this further. It is possible that the use of lyric and vocals becoming more prominent has encouraged this sense of closeness, but simultaneously the lushous textural layering has continued to remain at the core. As such the record strikes a perfect balance of staying true to Sontag Shogun's previous form whilst also charting new territory. nujumi
