Micachu - I Dare You (Demdike Stare Edit)

SKY GIRL 2LP/CD/DIG OUT NOW

Sky Girl is a mysteriously unshakeable companion, a deeply melancholic and sentimental journey through folk-pop, new wave and art music micro presses that span 1961-1991. A seemingly disparate suite of selections of forgotten fables by more or less neverknowns, Sky Girl forms a beautifully coherent and utterly sublime whole deftly compiled by French collectors DJ Sundae and Julien Dechery.

From Scott Seskind's adolescent musical road movie to Karen Marks' icy Oz-wave, the charming DIY storytelling of Italian-American go-getter Joe Tossini and the ethereal slow dance themes of Parisian artists Nini Raviolette and Hugo Weris, Sky Girl resonates on a wide spectrum historically, geographically and stylistically. It unites in a singular, longing, almost intangible ambience.

If the names sound wholly unfamiliar that doesn't matter, the nature of the compositions swiftly nurtures an intimacy with these lonely, poignant, openhearted wanderers. Most were available in a very limited capacity at the time of their release, some were never really released at all - Gary Davenport declined to release Sarra after he split with the girl for whom the track is named - years later a friend convinced Davenport to allow him to put 100 copies online to sell and DJ Sundae was quick enough to snare one. Beyond their scarcity, these tracks are bound together by a certain raw beauty that's achievable when music is made and no one is listening.

Sky Girl comprises of fifteen officially licensed songs, a two year international scavenger hunt through long-folded home label operations, the depths of internet forums and traceless acetates. Both compilers are well trained record sleuths - DJ Sundae's labels Hollie and Idle Press have reissued Arthur Russell affiliate Nirosta Steel and DIY relic Pitch, while Julien Dechery previously compiled 'Fire Star', a retrospective on Tamil film composer Ilaiyaraaja, for Bombay Connection.

Released by Noise In My Head offshoot Efficient Space, Sky Girl is enriched with artwork from Perks and Mini mutant Misha Hollenbach and appropriately elegant sleeve notes courtesy of Ivan Smagghe.

Xiomara Alfaro & Ralph Benitz Orchestra - Nana Burucu / Iroco 
(Zambia Records, USA - 1970)

This is the near Impossible to find 45 (and first pressing on Zambia records) of one of the most amazing female afro latin tracks out there. 

A deep nature force unleashed through Xiomara's voice over a killer heavy afro-cuban hard funk base (It is said that maybe Candido could be behind those drums!).  It doesn't get better than this. 

Deep serious sounds on a timeless favorite record. Respect!

Xiomara Alfaro - Nana Burucu [US, Zambia Rds] (1970) · Monster afro latin 45 from the cuban diva!

Aleksi Perälä live at Galaxiid Printworks London 25th March 2017

tonight, we leave tonight
or maybe tomorrow
if we're feeling alright

let's cut a rug and make a break
just leave whatever you don't need to take

trash the books and diaries
the motorbike is all we need
when we run

as long as i know that you're mine
we'll cut a path and see what we find

and in the night when we undress
we'll lie about our mess

i thought that you were someone else
but i don't even know myself
so let's run

the country is beautiful
and everything's new to me
it's not like i used to be
in the city

Run
