Leviata is the result of the latest project by tapeweaver Mattias Lagerkvist, who’s foray in to delayed drenched guitar and drone compositions under the name Ekolali has echoed for over a decade.

However, this release splits the echo with a major shift in both approach and sound.
A guttural declaration of throbbing bass lines and hypnotic melodies, pulsating drones and primal screeches is accompanied by field recordings and chaotic percussion. Mangled by broken tape delays, ground hum and a four track held together with gaffa tape, Leviata is like a road trip to Eleusis; it shakes, rumbles, squeaks and squeals.

Previously making his home on labels such as Not Not Fun, BAKK, Patience and Constellation Tatsu, Leviata sees his own 20 year old label being brought back to life.

Find yourself a place to hide, the primordial soup is back for revenge.

A Ekolali — Totem Mollusca (14:45)
B Tala Drum Corps — tokyo subway (16:06)

Plafond continues, taking center stage after the mother label BAKK ceded. Here, two long-time collaborators, Ekolali, originating from Sweden, and Tala Drum Corps, from the Netherlands, await their returns. The former reappears with a characteristic approach earlier heard on 'Doggerland'. The latter did multiple dance releases yet now debuts for this series, expanding on his stylistic spectrum. 

Despite shared tempo, the energies of the track are each of their own. Pulsating with energetic urgency, Ekolali, towards hypnotic movement, Tala Drum Corps. 'Totem Mollusca' shoots for the sun, like a budding landscape, yellow rays, waterdrops – kraut-inspired yet club-like without seeking a climax. 'tokyo subway' has a marimba-ridden, timeless feel – a clock-ticking, crude atmosphere, as a dream long passed, slowly ascending. 

Known for its two-sided, two-songs format, Plafond offers two artists or artist combinations the freeform room for exploration and elongation of their respective sound and practices. This is the eighth in the series.
