On her sophomore album "Germ in a Population of Buildings", upsammy moves through her surroundings with the curiosity of a place-bending landscape architect. The album is rooted in her interest for ambiguous environments in constant shift, and the feeling of discovering strange patterns in different ecosystems.

Often, the Amsterdam-based artist finds herself zooming in and out beyond a place's most recognizable surface features to inhabit the microscopic and gigantic. Gathering field recordings and evocative environmental sounds, she shapes this source material into vibrating electro-acoustic rhythms and unstable, psychedelic textures.

upsammy's debut album, 2020's critically-acclaimed "Zoom", was praised for it's careful reimagining of IDM, evolving vignettes that nodded towards the dancefloor without being shackled to it's rigid set of rules.

On "Germ in a Population of Buildings" her process has evolved considerably; the skeletal trace of IDM is still present but it's been trapped in amber, allowing her unique sonic landscape to develop organically. 'Being is a Stone' is a proof of concept in many ways, layering upsammy's contorted voice in rickety patterns beneath a lattice of fragile rhythms and faintly melancholy synths. It's never immediately obvious where the sounds are coming from - a hiccuping beat might be glass cracking underfoot, and larger pulses could be wet concrete, rusted iron or bent plastic.

As the sounds develop they morph into each other, demolishing what came before and building on top of the ornamental wreckage. On the dynamic 'Constructing', upsammy's sound design fluxes through hyperactive bass music structures, abstracting expectations at every turn.

Often her sounds are whisper quiet, rattling and vibrating until heavier masonry drops and disrupts the structure. And when discernible rhythms subside into the background, like on the album's eerie title track, they become almost illusory, morphing between the real world and the electronic.

Upsammy's processed voice works like a bridge between these realms, snaking between stark, whimsical melodies on 'Patterning', arching from AutoTuned detachment into cooing, dreamy intimacy. By considering the harmonies between each location she's visited, upsammy has been able to build a unique topology that's an uncanny digital amalgam of her lived experience. It's a thoughtful alternative in an era more concerned with flatting the landscape than crumpling it and examining it's peaks and troughs.

Not for aggressive chewers
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Large - 2 Pack, Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Large - 2 Pack
Three stars because my dogs love them. But in terms of “Indestructibility,” that’s completely inaccurate. One day in and the dogs have destroyed them, leaving jagged edges. The nylon pieces are coming out in their poop. These are definitely not for aggressive chewers. Probably best for a small dog with no teeth.

Stick replacement - But much more fun!
Size: For Large & Medium dogs, Color: beige, Size: For Large & Medium dogs, Color: beige
The Pet Qwerks Infused Nylon antler is a great replacement for a stick! My dog Rex loves to pick up sticks around the city and chew them to pieces and eat part of the bark, yet is just as excited about the infused Antler flying across the lawn to chew on. This Antler definitely has a strong scent when you take it out of the package, but for a picky dog like Rex, it is great to get his attention! We have several BarkBone products and my 80 pound dog has yet to chew through one! They are strong and reliable products. We love that Pet Qwerks products are made in America!
