An integral member of the West Coast electronic music scene, MARA BARENBAUM has been writing, performing, and plunging into oneiric depths as Group Rhoda since 2009. Barenbaum’s songcraft is at once stylistically diffuse and laser-focused, a synesthetic approach that allows her to effortlessly glide between genres and soundworlds while centering her singular poetics. On Phase 5, her fifth LP as Group Rhoda, we find Barenbaum waxing nondualistic. Lines between fairytale and fact, between nature and art, between subject and object all dissolve under contemplation. The songs on Phase 5 are perpetually in-between states, deftly shifting form at the blink of an eye. With sleight of hand, “Field Tone” transmutes from brooding John Carpenter-esque electro into vocoder-driven space disco. “Dragon Pine” darts from cosmic dub to cybernetic dancehall and back again. The uptempo darkwave-leaning number “Aeolian Crossing” dissolves into the void, like sand falling through one’s fingers, like a retreating wave. The cover artwork for Phase 5 is by SHAWN REED, and features purple lilies and light refracted through water. All songs on this album were mastered by RUUD LEKX.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField Tone \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDragon Pine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Fur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunseer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAeolian Crossing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44937869983859,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/a0024195959_10.jpg?v=1778194044","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/group-rhoda-phase-5","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
