Carmen’s new 3 track EP gives a sense of where she might be heading next on her musical journey. On Nutrition, the submerged influence of dub seen in a lot of her earlier work has risen more prominently to the surface. Carmen describes the tracks as “some dub studies born out of my continued fascination with the form. I’m in a period where I just keep going back to experimenting with beats and rhythms”. Nutrition is set for release on 25 October 2024 through Smalltown Supersound.

“Carmen Villain descends deeper into the mutant dub vortex on ‘Nutrition’, infusing the residue of classic Pole/~Scape, Mark Ernestus and vintage Chain Reaction with a mossy potency that surprisingly and rather brilliantly lines up next to recent work by Carrier and the flickering embers of T++.
