It is a medicine and a collective, common good that we all have a right to. It has the potential to bring us together in times of crisis, and to enable a great depth of emotional processing – something much needed in our world.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBerlin-based, American multidisciplinary artist Lyra Pramuk – vocalist, producer, composer, DJ, performance artist, and astrologer – shares her sophomore album Hymnal: an earthy, raw, and psychedelic burst of euphony for collective healing. In her latest work, Lyra brings together a vast spectrum of elements across art, biology, poetry, cultural theory, and collaborators to weave an audacious symphony of the universe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassically trained and raised in Berlin’s club scene, she has garnered critical acclaim for her original, genre-fluid sound rooted in experimental vocals and left-field electronics. Throughout Hymnal, she creates a radical and primal polyphony of innovatively-sampled vocals, in-your-face strings, and futuristic electronic production. These varied elements combine to form an ecstatic genesis, a musical offering that intersects with the minimalism of Steve Reich and\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTerry Riley, the avant-garde vocal storytelling of Meredith Monk and Laurie Anderson, and the political and communal spirit of American folk and dance music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoved by the evocative power of strings across musical traditions, Lyra threads them through the fabric of Hymnal, layering rich, sinewy harmonies to evoke the landscapes and creatures that surround us. She collaborated with Berlin-based Sonar Quartett, recording a session that blended composition and improvisation. These recordings were then re-amped, re-sampled, and processed to join her sonic world. All the vocal phrases, chants and ad libs were recorded in one week, in two special spaces in Italy – a cathedral in Venice, and a remote cabin under the stars in the Dolomites. She later reworked the string and vocal samples on CDJs, using her DJ’s sense for rhythm and mixing to channel the political and communal lineage of dance music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album’s lyrics, written by American poet Nadia Marcus, form its spiritual core – and were the basis for a unique experiment: part poetic deconstruction, part interspecies collaboration. After distilling the poetry into key words and phrases, Lyra collaborated with artist Jenna Sutela to create a John Cage-inspired ‘I Ching environment,’ where the slime mould Physarum polycephalum traced its own pathways as it grew over a mapped arrangement of the poetic fragments. This in turn created the visual score for Lyra’s vocal improvisations, inviting the single-celled organism into her creative process as an artistic collaborator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConceptually rich and process-driven, Hymnal is Lyra’s own book of worship songs: for the Earth, the cosmos, and all life-forms, living and dead. Inspired by the natural world and our place within a mysterious universe, the album invites cosmic interconnectivity, unfurling like a mass bloom in time-lapse from sunset to sunrise. It responds to the multiple, intersecting crises of our times – ecological, humanitarian, socio-political, and techno-philosophical. Driven by the role we must play to address and process the feelings that emerge as our home and human rights are taken from us, it calls us to remember music's early, communal roots, and our own agency in the process of our individual and collective transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA collaborative release on !K7 Music imprint 7K! and Lyra Pramuk’s newly launched pop.soil.\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"7K!","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Signed","offer_id":55106277671247,"sku":"7K057LPSIGNED","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2LP","offer_id":55106282029391,"sku":"7K057LP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":55106283602255,"sku":"7K057CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":55299259990351,"sku":"7K057D","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/9005\/4181\/files\/a1003987123_10.jpg?v=1749134375"},{"product_id":"shackleton-waclaw-zimpel-in-the-cell-of-dreams","title":"Shackleton \u0026 Waclaw Zimpel 'In The Cell of Dreams'","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eFollowing on from their critically acclaimed debut album, the second album from Shackleton \/ Zimpel represents the culmination of the ecstatic trance urge that has underlined both artists work since they embarked on their singular yet somehow parallel Paths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe duo, consisting of electronic music maverick Sam Shackleton and visionary avant folk virtuoso Waclaw Zimpel, sees them link up with one of Indian Classical music’s greatest emerging young vocal talents, Siddhartha Belmannu, to bring an album which is equal parts both a meditative exercise and an urge to transcendence whilst thematising both the acceptance of our mortality and the joyous celebration of living.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"7K!","offers":[{"title":"LP - Signed","offer_id":55106297299279,"sku":"7K047LPX","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":55106298937679,"sku":"7K047LP","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":55299580854607,"sku":"7K047D","price":23.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/9005\/4181\/files\/a2841519078_10.jpg?v=1749112323"},{"product_id":"arborra-mind-over-matter","title":"Arborra 'Mind Over Matter'","description":"\u003cp\u003eDigital Album\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"7K!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55352075321679,"sku":"7K054D","price":11.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/9005\/4181\/files\/a3895421322_10.jpg?v=1750169574"},{"product_id":"martyna-basta-winged-in-collapse","title":"Martyna Basta - Winged In Collapse","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePolish sonic alchemist - composer, producer, and singer-songwriter - Martyna Basta has signed to 7K, the exploratory imprint of acclaimed dance\/electronic label !K7 Records. Today, she announces her third album, Winged in Collapse, to be released on 15th May 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinged in Collapse is dedicated to dualities; the title itself is an image of a creature collapsing mid-flight. Basta positions softness beside sharpness, fragility beside resilience, exploring the poetic dualities of lullament: the evocative coming together of lullaby and lament. She captures the sensations of being held and suffocated, finding comfort and grief overlapping in inseparable ways. Heard clearest on “Hands Want To” and “You, My Nest”, these songs soothe and mourn in the same breath, offering the listener safety but hinting at danger. Throughout the album, contradictory textures converge, whispery vocals and classical instrumentation are pierced by sharp, metallic interruptions, expressing gentleness within the clamour and strength in vulnerability. These contradictions fuel the emotional engine of the record.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinged in Collapse breathes with Basta’s classical musical training, chamber-inspired instrumentation that flirts with delicate pop elements.

Swedish sound artist Felisha Ledesma’s contribution to “Guidelines” cuts the heavy tension with a beam of midsummer sunlight. She recounts blurry memories of hot, heady afternoons; no details are certain, but the vision is warm and organic. The album’s closing track, “Say it Closely”, lifts the album out of the dark, a hopeful glimmer of light. james K’s sweet, Elizabeth Fraser-inspired vocals sigh over crunching footsteps. Basta says of the track: “This one feels like a quiet hymn, something whispered directly to someone you love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartyna Basta says of the album: “Winged in Collapse came from a place of inner rupture, one I chose to embrace. Mourning a world growing increasingly unfamiliar, shaped by forces that feel bent on destruction, I’ve found my vulnerability becoming a resilient force within me. The clash of the sharp and the tender became my guide. And within the weight, I discovered there is always a glimmer: an ember, a breath, a hand held in the dark.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough her tactile sound design and collaboration with art directors NA Service, Basta conjures a haunting musical and visual world as a whispered sonic diary: ornamented shapes, calligraphy, faded manuscripts, repaired objects, carrying age and detail. These motifs mirror the album’s themes of ritual and devotion. Laden with ornamentation and rot, Winged In Collapse remains resilient within its own decay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"7klassik","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":57209875431759,"sku":"7K058LP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV","offer_id":57209875464527,"sku":"7K058D","price":11.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/9005\/4181\/files\/a3353396561_10.jpg?v=1773131554"}],"url":"https:\/\/7klassik.myshopify.com\/collections\/new-on-7k.oembed","provider":"7klassik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
