Isola is Ivana Carrescia, an artist and synthesist based in the farmlands of West Virginia. Her first release EP1 on Godmode - ”another star-making house debut” wrote Resident Advisor’s Andrew Ryce - paired her glassy vocals and musique concrète arrangement style with minimal house and dub techno reminiscent of early Chain Reaction releases. “It’s the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re dancing and floating all at once,” wrote Pitchfork’s Philip Sherburne. With EP1, Isola found support from an impossibly varied array of selectors, everyone from Avalon Emerson to Andreas TIlliander, from Chris Lake to Disclosure.
For Isola, there is music hidden in every sound around us - the howl of the wind, the whirr of traffic, the blank hum of a refrigerator. LP1, which arrives April 29, is both a continuation and departure - somehow more focused and more adventurous than before. Each song explores the giddy side of falling in love - all the little moments when you feel it setting in but don’t want to ruin by saying anything. It’s all set to the sumptuous microhouse sound that’s become Isola’s signature, with hints of Wolfgang Voigt’s Gas, Steve Standard’s Strafe, and the tickled arpeggiations of Suzanne Ciani’s music for Buchla.
Carrescia worked closely across all nine tracks with Godmode co-founder Nick Sylvester, the producer behind the label’s breakouts like Channel Tres and Yaeji. LP1 is the first release on Smartdumb, Sylvester’s brand-new outlet since departing Godmode in late 2022. Smartdumb is, according to Sylvester, “a home for music that starts with a question mark and ends with an exclamation point.”
