Shigeto - Detroit Part 1

Kraak & Smaak continue their quest to own 2013 with the release of the second single from their forthcoming Chrome Waves album. 

The quality keeps flowing with a genuine indie-disco smash featuring Sam Duckworth of Get Cape Wear Cape Fly fame on vocals. Owing as much to the funk and groove of The Clash as it does to the party island where they are suddenly so popular the original is a rip-roaring summer singalong smash destined to blast out of the radio in every city.

Remixes come courtesy of portuguese disco don Moullinex, ice cool Nordic beatsmith Diskjokke, UK garage hotshot Marcus jakes, leftfield breakbeat blasters Howson’s Groove and reggae masters Yesking.

Samaris single Viltu Vitrast released on 7th October 2013.


‘Elegant and unusual, this is a gem’ NME 8/10 
‘Imagine The xx and Little Dragon eloping to that magical forest in Lord of The Rings and you might be getting close to this record’s wonderfully paranormal aesthetic’ The Line of Best Fit 8/10 
‘Samaris specialise in gorgeous, haunting nocturnes’ Drowned In Sound
‘Samaris is superb. It’s fantastic. It’s amazing.’ The 405
‘This is an effortlessly atmospheric album that has all the arty sophistication of any great Icelandic act’ The Fly 4/5
‘An excellent forward thinking record from three talented musicians, not yet out of their teens’ Loud&Quiet  8/10
‘Mesmerisingly breathy groove from the young Icelandic combo, which should lure you to the delicious confections of their self-titled album’ Metro 

Icelandic teenage wunderkind Samaris’ first UK release comes in the shape of an eponymously-titled album on 29th July. Samaris compiles their two Icelandic-released EPs, Hljóma Þú (2011) and Stofnar falla (recorded at Sigur Rós’ Sundlaugin studio with Gunnar Tynes of múm, 2012.

Combining disparate elements of electronics (Þórður Kári Steinþórsson), clarinet (Áslaug Rún Magnúsdóttir) and Jófríður Ákadóttir’s haunting voice, Samaris mix glacial electronica and bold, percussive beats with haunting chant-like vocals - the lyrics culled from nineteenth century Icelandic poems. Viltu Vitrast for example retells an Icelandic folk tale about villages who ask for help from a supernal being, but worry it will choose not to manifest its power on Earth. The effect is simultaneously ancient and modern – an ethereal sound filled with dark spaces and alien atmosphere. 

Formed in 2011 in Reykjavik, within months Samaris had won both the Icelandic Músíktilraunir (past winners include the likes of Of Monsters and Men) and Kraumur Award. The band’s show at Iceland Airwaves in 2012, attracted the attention of Line Of Best Fit, Drowned In Sound and NPR amongst many others. Singer Jófríður also performs with her sister Ásthildur in the more folk-inclined Pascal Pinion.

Prelude I

Mountains - Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass

I improvised this one a bit. Or maybe a lot. 
Started with a simple guitar pattern and added ukulele, electric guitar and violin. And then vocals and whistling.

-----------------------

How long do we have until they take you
Away, love
Away from us

I swore I’d protect you but they
Put me on a cross, love
Dragged my body ‘cross the floor

I fought and I fought again to keep you away from them
Far away from them

No wound can stop me, I will raise my sword
Raise my sword
And keep my word

I’d give my life to save yours
I won’t sleep at night until you’re safe at home
The scars on my skin remind me my goal
I will keep my oath until they bury my bones 

Oaths and Bones Feat. Julsy (D/L in Description)

~ Lyrics ~

You’ve been stored between boxes and worms
For far too long

You’ve been used and you’ve been left behind
A broken toy

Unplug your mind and switch your heart off
Embrace the dark

And it’s only a matter of time 
Before you fall
