Daniela Hehle Hearing 'i am not yet here' instantly had me feeling I rediscovered something about me I thought I was about to lose, a very distinct feeling. The music made so much sense to me that I shed tears and at the same time, felt gladness and ease. I haven't been this affected by music in a long time and I believe part of what I feared losing was the ability to be affected this much. Subzar...my heart smiles. Thank you. It is now part of where I am going. Can't compare this to anything else I've heard. Favorite track: as memories fade, that which remains....

about

‘i am not yet here’ comprises five pieces that span several years, as the group transitioned from guitar-based project into acoustic quartet. The rhythmic and melodic complexities of the pieces combine to form a unique sound that reaches from the introspective to the optimistic.

Conceptually, the EP’s poetic song titles each convey the mood of the instrumentals and, in succession, are also parts of a longer narrative that complements the entire aural journey.

Founded in south England by two friends, subzar was originally called 'somewhere between the zenith and ruin' as a title for what was at first a side project. This in time became an acoustic quartet with the addition of cello and violin, and its earlier post-rock instrumentals evolved into more compositional pieces replete with post-rock, jazz and folk influences. The name 'subzar' reflects the long-term project's coming of age but it also embodies its original title - a phrase that remains at the heart of subzar's diverse, colourful music.

subzar is: chris redfearn, gav sirisena, derek yau and nicky haire

This heartbreakingly beautiful music must have been born of Ukraine's troubles of 2014. It is all the more poignant now, in 2022, against the unspeakable cruelty being visited on the people of that country. Do something for Ukraine. Max North

The delicate string playing, electronic coloring, and Kidd's piano are superb. In this moment I'm drawn towards thinking society as a whole is an epistemic mess. Gary Figueroa
