bensnburner backingband mit waldo the funk - uhrwerk toykis (session version)

"1965" releases both digitally and on limited edition 7" clear vinyl on April 7, 2014 via B3SCI Records. Pre-order here: http://b3scirecords.bigcartel.com/product/b3sr-006-zella-day-sweet-ophelia-1965

The sound of strumming guitars; the feel of soft, wet clay; the scent of fresh brewed coffee: this was Zella Day’s childhood. Secluded in the quaint mountain town of Pinetop, Arizona, Zella’s creativity flourished with the forest at her doorstep. High above Phoenix Valley, Pinetop holds a population of 7,000, and Zella's family-owned Mor Mor Coffee House was an only sanctuary for artists. Surrounding herself with local musicians, Zella was inspired to pick up the guitar at a young age. Before long, the blossoming chanteuse started performing sets including Bob Dylan and Elvis songs - selections inspired by her coffee house family. The native Arizonan had found a calling in music and used it as a form of self-realization, penning her experiences and discovering herself through the intricacies of song. She drew inspiration from the serene Arizona mountains and turned to Clint Eastwood, old Western films, and cowboy rebel culture to help shape the attitude behind her music. The result is a raw, organic sound unconfined by the boundaries of genre. It effortlessly floats between the tonalities of female frontier-maker Stevie Nicks and art pop songbird Lana Del Rey while invoking imagery painted by Old Arizona and a free-spirited perspective.

To date, Zella Day’s music has barely crossed paths with the outside world; however, her short series of self-released demos and collaborations caught fire throughout the indie community. One such supporter of her undeniable talent was the boutique music press outlet B3SCI. Having recently formed a singles record imprint, B3SCI was undoubtedly the natural home for the songwriter's first official offering to the world.

The upcoming two-track single leads with “Sweet Ophelia,” a blending of personal encounters in an eerie resemblance to that of Hamlet’s Ophelia. Crunching drum machines and menacing electronics juxtapose Zella’s airy croons as she sings about the sanctity of physical connection, powerfully portraying both the majesty and fragility of letting love consume you. The B-side, “1965,” takes a more straightforward approach, showcasing Zella’s strong voice atop soft, pattering drums and fluttering guitars. The lyrics tell a story about finding a genuine connection among a sea of inauthenticity. Moreover, the track celebrates its title - the year that a generation united despite a delusive society.

On April 7th, B3SCI Records will release 'Sweet Ophelia / 1965' on limited edition 7-inch clear vinyl. The tracks were brought to life at Los Angeles's WAX LTD. Studios with the production and mixing prowess of Xandy Barry and Wally Gagel. This debut collection showcases a young songstress’ visceral visions and liberated mentality, while foreshadowing the depth of a long career that's yet to come.

The limits of a digital game are best if you do not notice them or if they are narrative in themselves. If you feel well in a defined area, because it already gives you enough riddles and contains mysteries, you do not want to go outside. On the other hand, there is the attraction of the forbidden, the question of what lies behind it. 

In the game DOOM, there is a separate cheat code for exiting the given margin: "noclip". Once activated, I can walk through walls and enemies, and the outer walls of each level are no longer an obstacle. 


Actually, I turn on the mini-map and see that I'm getting more and more out of the existing world into the big nothing, farther and farther away from the familiar spaces, towards an infinite void. DOOM does not crash, but the further I step out of the designed room, the more the presentation becomes a confusing loop: walls, enemies, even my weapon multiply, dissolve in a thick layer of overlays. This is not for all eyes, and yet a feature. 

"Noclip" is for those geeks who are happy to have discovered something that no-one has ever seen before. At least believe it.

this album was recorded in an empty 400 square meter hangar with 30 meters high ceiling just to let the sound breath as much as possible. 

the huge reverb inspired to dig deeper into the world of floating atmospheres and ambient drones. 

the production is packed with solo-driven moods along with synth and pedalboard-spirit, heavy post-rock tracks in a classic band-setup as well as experimental collaborations with different artists, bringing in their own way to get along with this very different recording situation
