Hi, friends!

After an almost annual break, Pep Gaffe came back with the new tape by our all-time associates - Tofudj and Acid Jordan who deserves no introduction for the majority of ours listeners. These beautiful amorphous tracks were recorded last summer in the house by the river somewhere near Poltava.

As usual, we printed a strictly limited edition of tapes, which you could pre-order right now through the Bandcamp page or by writing us directly to the Instagram page (link in bio).

Hurry up if you want to grab your copy first ;)

Kaledoscopic digdub fractals that radiate light and dark onto scattering drumskins, intersecting trumpet lines bouncing of the wooooooosh of pedals in overdrive - struck by a blur of Sao Paulo’s leading hands in a dizzying trip through the psychedelic sound experience.

Felinto - Sempre

In the mid-1970s, a force of nature swept across the continental United States, cutting across all strata of race and class, rooting in our minds, our homes, our culture. It wasn’t The Exorcist, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, or even bell-bottoms, but instead a book called The Secret Life of Plants. The work of occultist/former OSS agent Peter Tompkins and former CIA agent/dowsing enthusiast Christopher Bird, the books shot up the bestseller charts and spread like kudzu across the landscape, becoming a phenomenon. Seemingly overnight, the indoor plant business was in full bloom and photosynthetic eukaryotes of every genus were hanging off walls, lording over bookshelves, and basking on sunny window ledges. The science behind Secret Life was specious: plants can hear our prayers, they’re lie detectors, they’re telepathic, able to predict natural disasters and receive signals from distant galaxies. But that didn’t stop millions from buying and nurturing their new plants.

Perhaps the craziest claim of the book was that plants also dug music. And whether you purchased a snake plant, asparagus fern, peace lily, or what have you from Mother Earth on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles (or bought a Simmons mattress from Sears), you also took home Plantasia, an album recorded especially for them. Subtitled “warm earth music for plants…and the people that love them,” it was full of bucolic, charming, stoner-friendly, decidedly unscientific tunes enacted on the new-fangled device called the Moog. Plants date back from the dawn of time, but apparently they loved the Moog, never mind that the synthesizer had been on the market for just a few years. Most of all, the plants loved the ditties made by composer Mort Garson.

Few characters in early electronic music can be both fearless pioneers and cheesy trend-chasers, but Garson embraced both extremes, and has been unheralded as a result. When one writer rhetorically asked: “How was Garson’s music so ubiquitous while the man remained so under the radar?” the answer was simple. Well before Brian Eno did it, Garson was making discreet music, both the man and his music as inconspicuous as a Chlorophytum comosum. Julliard-educated and active as a session player in the post-war era, Garson wrote lounge hits, scored plush arrangements for Doris Day, and garlanded weeping countrypolitan strings around Glen Campbell’s “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” He could render the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel alike into easy listening and also dreamed up his own ditties. “An idear” as Garson himself would drawl it out. “I live with it, I walk it, I sing it.”

Plantasia

Forma Oblaka (Russian for ‘cloud shape’) is a moniker of a Moscow-based producer and songwriter Nastya Akopova. 

Nastya’s craving for making music and verses revealed itself in her childhood and many of her tracks are based on childhood impressions. The musician’s creativity is not limited to song structures and does not stick to particular genres. Thus, in her alternative project named Lunatubique, Nastya realizes more abstract ideas, which results in bizarre dance electronica.

Forma Oblaka’s music is strongly intuitive and spontaneous, it is experimental and deliberately simple at the same time. Inspired by ambient, outsider house and techno, Nastya combines lo-fi beats, meditative melodies and fragile vocals.

The narrator of the album Opium relates to subtle feelings and weird connections. Mysticism passing through everyday life, tenderness unable to find its way out, «sweet sadness» which is so easy to get poisoned by – the narrator feels a little uneasy but she seems to enjoy it and is not about to stop. This is what Opium is.

Forma Oblaka’s music envelopes with cold and makes one plunge into thought. But anyway it gives the listener a choice – to get high on melancholy or seek different kinds of pleasure.
