1st song of side B - DIVE, Ultra Eczema
"To those who swam in a lake filled with the bitter tears of Petra Von Kant, drip with salt when Twin Peaks´ heroic theme song comes out of a TV or simply burst out in tears whenever a tune sends you back to the darker corners of your childhood, we got bad news: The first full lenght lp by Sarajevo born Belgian Mia Prce (aka Miaux, say "MIO", not the sound cats produce) is stripped from anything that sounds rhythmic, happy or remotely like "hope" and will not stop you from sobbing!
Sehnsucht" is a german word that one could probably translate, though that never fully holds the feeling it owns in German. (kraut) monsters like Michael Rother, Klaus Schultze and so on, translated it best with melancholic sound fields that formed the soundtrack of Miaux´s upbringing, a open sounding uptightness, sad but (really) true (to herself).
These 6 new pieces are a relief for a lot of body parts: tears finally leave the bags underneath your glasses, drool finally leaves your mouth and that yellow crust runs out of your ears as those two flappers want to enjoy this lp to the fullest."

Story
Mananjary
In ancient times, when baobabs whispered secrets to the wind and the spirits of the Sambirano River still walked among the living, a sovereign named Ranavalona Voa reigned in Mananjary, known for her wisdom and her fear of omens.

One night of eclipse, two shooting stars streaked across the sky above the palace. At dawn, twins were born in a nearby village. But the elders, seeing the darkened sky and the two identical bodies, murmured: “Antananarivo trembles. Two births, two destinies. One will bring light, the other shadow.”

The queen, influenced by the oracles and by an ancestral prophecy that spoke of “two mirrors that would break the balance of the world,” decreed that all multiple births would be considered a bad omen. The twins were to be given to the sacred forest, where the spirits would decide their fate. Some were abandoned, others given to the rivers, and a few were hidden by their mothers in secret caves.

Over time, multiple births became rare. Women feared conceiving twins, and lullabies avoided mentioning duality. But deep in the Vohibola forest, it was said that the surviving twins had formed a secret community: the Zana-Mirindra, “children of balance.” They communicated with animals, healed with plants, and dreamed of the day the curse would be broken.

Many years later, a girl named Fara, a descendant of the hidden twins, found an ancient drum buried beneath a baobab tree. When she played it, the sky lit up with two moons. The current queen, seeing the phenomenon, understood that duality was not a curse, but a strength. She revoked the decree, and the twins once again walked Mananjary without fear.

NEPTUNALIA, a festival of Neptune, celebrated at Rome, of which
very little is known. The day on which it was held, was probably the 23rd
of July. The festival was celebrated with games. Respecting the ceremonies
of this festival nothing is known, except that the people used to build
huts of branches and foliage, in which they probably feasted, drank, and
amused themselves.
From a "Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities" by John Murray, London,
1875.

Since embarking on an enchantingly forlorn run of musical activity, Ilyas Ahmed has remained incredibly active both as a visual artist and an incredibly versatile musician. Ahmed has cultivated vibrantly esoteric collaborations with Liz Harris (Grouper) and Matt Carlson & Jonathan Sielaff (both of Golden Retriever), among others, is an active member of heady, genre-defying experimental instrumental band Grails, and steadfastly issued quiet epics of psych-minimalism. Now, the Pakistan-born, Portland, Or.-based musician returns with 'Behold Killers,' perhaps his most alluring and distantly seething work to date. 

"Pass No Jazz" unfurls its tattered but tranquil tapestry over the entire A-side, tracing each step with unhurried care and curious composure. "Metal Freedom" leads the B-side in a synth-laden cloud of shimmering tragedy and seething hope. "Mad Love" dials things down for a modest symphony of gritted minimalism and soot-covered, negative space. Closing piece "Wild Violet" shimmers in a desolate dance of eerie weightlessness and wretched resolve.

Best consumed in the dead of night or frosted isolation, ‘Behold Killers’ is an aural yarn explicitly woven for the trodden.
