Rian Treanor is releasing a collaborative album with Glasgow-born, Stockholm-based artist Cara Tolmie.
Set for release on Planet Mu, the nine-track album’s roots lie in a specially commissioned, joint live performance that they did for Glasgow’s Counterflows festival in 2023. It saw vocalist and performance artist Tolmie combine her vocal technique of Internal Singing — described in a press release as “an intimate practice using breath, movement and touch that explores the subtle binds between voice and body in an unsettling, engrossing sonic space – with Treanor’s own rhythmically complex work.
A series of improvisational performances by the pair followed, which were built on amid recording sessions in Stockholm and Rotherham in 2024. Body Lapse marks the pair’s first release together and is coming out amid Planet Mu’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
Listen to lead track ‘My Little Loophole’ below.
Planet Mu will release Body Lapse on September 12, 2025.
