K-Elektronischer Automatisten – Verlorene Tonbänder: Maschinengefühle CD

A bittersweet collection of sounds and words from Lisa Eye and electronic artist/producer iGod. Mostly recorded in the UK (an apartment in London and a hotel in Brighton) with additional vocal takes done at Vibe Studio in Basel, Switzerland in 2008 & 2009. A few electronic dubs and the first mixes were done in Chicago in 2009, followed by the majority mixes being finished in Los Angeles in 2011. A few unmixed stragglers were discovered in 2015, when the original album was tweaked, sequenced and released. This re-issue coincided with the release of a limited double LP version.

Lee Pylon’s ‘dogs versus shadows’ returns with a new full length album ‘boketto’. Sparse fractal beats, degraded tape, the thrum and drone of decaying technology make for adventurous listening. This is a record that’s been called both ‘haunting industrial miserablism’ and ‘music for broken robots’. For fans of Tim Hecker, Ekoplekz, Helm, Demdike Stare and Best Available Technology.

dogs versus shadows teams up with there are no birds here on this split release from Lee Pylon’s TSOTH Records. Taking the title of the release as an inspirational phrase, each artist tells their own sonic tale: exploring the relationship between music, place and memory. The result: two interwoven stories in sound from two shining lights of experimental electronic music. These two long-form pieces make extensive use of an arsenal of home-brewed electronic experiments, field recordings, battered radios, kids walkie-talkies, violins with strings missing through to iPhone apps and weird and wild delay pedals. An essential release!
