London-based electronic artist Sunden unveils his highly anticipated debut album, Minor Coda, a deeply personal exploration of therapy, catharsis, and the fluidity of human experience through the lens of leftfield club music. Set for release via Loose Lips, a label and club night recently celebrating a decade at the forefront of London’s underground scene, Minor Coda is a strikingly emotive collection of tracks that seamlessly weave intricate breakbeats, immersive soundscapes, and euphoric release. The album captures the turbulence of self-exploration, channeling it into a journey that is as introspective as it is primed for the dancefloor.
From the skittering rhythms and fluctuating dynamics of Process, which encapsulates the disquiet of self-confrontation, to the dreamlike melancholy of Ish, evoking the solitude of late-night city wanderings, each track on Minor Coda tells a deeply human story. Something explores the fragility of identity, peeling back layers of self-perception through heavily textured sound design, while Broke Over Me Like A Rainstorm transforms a moment of personal realization into a swelling, layered composition. Fugit Amor draws inspiration from Rodin’s sculpture of the same name, reflecting on the tension between longing and presence, while To Live Forever In A Skylit Room distills fleeting beauty into a luminous, bittersweet reverie. The album builds towards Coda, a jubilant celebration of love and renewal, before closing on To See With Eyes Unclouded, a final breath of ambient contemplation, acknowledging that growth is ongoing, and understanding is never finite.
Following the well-received album singles, To Live Forever In A Skylit Room, Process & Coda, which gained early support from key tastemakers including Otik. Martha, Tom Ravenscroft, Fliss Mayo, and Om Unit, Minor Coda cements Sunden as a vital new voice in the electronic landscape. Drawing from the glitch-heavy textures of 90s IDM, the spectral atmospherics of ambient Drum & Bass, and the emotive weight of artists like Burial and Andy Stott, Sunden crafts a sound that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. His ability to channel raw emotion into kinetic, club-ready forms makes Minor Coda an essential listen for those seeking to connect and simultaneously let go. Complementing the album’s magnetic originals are remixes from Eomac, Dyslecta and Shelley Parker, who push the sonic boundaries further, transforming Sunden’s intricate compositions into potent club weapons, bridging introspection with movement in entirely new ways.
As Loose Lips continues to celebrate ten years of championing genre-defying electronic music, Sunden’s debut marks a defining moment for both artist and label alike. Just as a Coda in music serves not just as an ending but as a final meditation on all that has come before, Minor Coda lingers in the air long after its final note, a reminder that closure is not an endpoint but an invitation to carry the echoes of experience forward.
