Nite Hive is thrilled to be releasing 'Inexorable Ascent' by non-binary audio-visual artist and composer, Agnes Haus, on 7 November 2025 on limited edition cassette and digital. The new album by Brighton-based Agnes Haus is a collection of slow harmonic drone-based modular synthesiser pieces composed entirely within the early hours between 12 and 4 am. The album is a hallucinatory polyphonic study of external perceptions of what it means to live in a perpetual liminal state.
'Persona' - the 1st single, is out now with a self-directed video.
During a period of solitude in late 2024, Agnes Haus set an intention to make a monochromatic electronic album that felt timeless and cinematic, yet uncomfortable. “Every night, for two weeks in my attic studio, I watched granular Bergman and Tarkovsky films in the background while I crudely experimented on my small modular synthesiser. I had been feeling like a pariah at the time by shunning binary systems on all levels, from politics to everyday life, which had become suffocating in the online world. I kind of anaesthetised myself in the late-night hours, focusing on the subtleties of the quiet particulars of sound - the details of the infinite intonations in between.”
