Rajna - The Door Of Serenity

Slowdive EP is 25 years old. It was released by Creation Records on November 5th, 1990.

When the band reformed for 2014, it seemed obvious to us to start our live shows by playing the Slowdive EP at the top of the set list. It sets out where we originally came from, and sets the scene for where we were going. And to celebrate that, we'd like to present a free live recording of Avalyn, performed during our USA / Canada tour last year. We are currently working on releasing the entire live set from that tour as a collection, so look out for news of that soon.

Rajna - Incantation (Wassim's Progression Remix)

rajna - incantation  (cem ermis intro mix)

"Composé de deux ex membres de « Sharon & Tracy », « Jeff Clark’s » continue à explorer la veine cold wave tout en noircissant le trait. Le projet puise ses influences dans des groupes tels que The Soft Moon, Future Islands ou encore She Past Away. « Jeff Clark’s » cherche des ambiances sombres, froides et hypnotisantes au travers desquelles lumière et énergie finissent toujours quand même par percer...

Probably best known as the singer/guitarist of Zelienople, Christensen takes the minimal approach of his band one step  further in his solowork. ‘I know what the fight is’ is a bleak but warm sounding record - imagine Roy Montgomery joining laughing stock-era Talk Talk, working on a Twin Peaks-soundtrack.

The album is pressed on high-quality german clear vinyl with a few touches of grey, and all sleeves are screenprinted by hand, making each copy a tiny bit different from the other. complete with download coupon, in an edition of just over 100 copies.

Matt Christensen - Rudderless and blind

Ekin Fil continues her quietly complex dream-pop oeuvre on Maps. For many years now, this Istanbul musician has been writing mysterious and haunting songs, rich in heavy-reverb effects and an introspective torpor. With each successive album, her songwriting has blossomed through broader instrumentation and more intricate melodic phrasing, though the somber atmospherics and ghostly manifestations remain a judicious constant. Minor-key, tear-stained notes of piano, organ, and guitar veer along elliptical orbits as a soft-whisper lilt of Ekin’s voice narrates more by emotive decree than by literary couplet. 

Maps addresses the distance and dislocation of the self from the bustling center of Istanbul, where Ekin FIl (neé Ekin Üzeltüzenci) had once called her home. Having spent her first winter on a relatively quiet island in the Sea of Marmara (while still in the greater metropolitan umbrella of Istanbul), Maps  is “lonely, different, kind of isolated,” according to Ekin, who also noted that the island had “too much silence around. There is no other choice but to concentrate, I guess.” Her poetics of silence on her previous recordings had been noted as an antidote or a dream capsule of sound in response to Istanbul’s cauldron of politics, culture, and philosophy that has been boiling almost since the beginning of civilization. Maps bends that maritime silence into wind-swept smudges that complement her already spacious compositions.  

The saddest songs of The Durutti Column excised of rhythm and those few plunges into sorrow by Harold Budd make for apt comparisons to Maps, in addition to the drone-on classics of Grouper, Slowdive, and Sarah Davachi.
