“…for the mistakes I wish I hadn’t made, for the words left unspoken, the letters written and never sent, the wounds inflicted and received. For all the scars and shattered dreams. For those of you who have hurt me, and for the harm I’ve caused myself. Praesens is the best way I’ve found to come to terms with my demons and let them go…”

Nàresh Ran Unveils Praesens: A Sonic Journey into Darkness and Reflection

Italian experimental artist Nàresh Ran will release his latest album, Praesens, on cassette through Breathe Plastic Records in January 2025.

Known for his atmospheric and often haunting soundscapes, Ran explores themes of regret, fragility, and emotional turmoil, blending deep drones with intimate vocals. Unlike his earlier works, which relied heavily on field recordings, Praesens embraces a darker, more introspective approach with synths and minimalistic arrangements.

This limited-edition cassette offers a profound journey into the internal battles we often face, capturing a powerful balance between tension and release.
