Propan - Propan was formed in 2011 by Norwegian vocalists Ina Sagstuen and Natali Abrahamsen Garner. They released their third album, Loom on GLARC in 2022 (GLARC000000000000000000000000015) , following Baby (Va Fongool 2016), Trending (SOFA 2019). The premise of this release was to construct semi-composed improvisations, layered in time, where timbre, texture, rhythm and form become layers in a sonic weaving. In contrast to their previous works where electronic manipulation was foregrounded, Loom stood out with its roomy acoustics. It is music which breathes with its surroundings, and consequently it feels alive, coarsely grained and warm. As described by the Quietus, Propan make “simple vocal patterns punching far above their weight”. Propan make a rare appearance in the UK at Oto as part of these 10 year celebrations so catch it!
