The Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of Boston in the late 70s, then San Francisco ten years later, playing versions of contemporary pop music with an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. Following the theft and destruction of her accordion , The Space Lady invested in a then-new Casio keyboard, complete with a phase shifter and headset mic, birthing an otherworldly new dimension to popular song that has captured the imaginations of the underground and its leading exponents ever since.

The legend of The Space Lady has continued to grow in the 21st century. Originally featured on the landmark 'outsider' compilation Songs In The Key Of Z, then on mixes by Erol Alkan and John Maus, this music has transcended genre, style and fashion, opening up hearts and minds along the way.

14 years ago The Space Lady packed away her Casio synth and silenced her distinctive voice, retiring from the streets of San Francisco. Now, more than 30 years after her initial forays on Haight-Ashbury Harvard Square and Haight Ashbury, she has surfaced with the first ever official release of her timeless, startling, haunting music and, even more remarkably, has re-started her live career. Now in Colorado, The Space Lady continues to spread her message of peace, harmony and love.

'Major Tom / Radar Love' will be released on limited 7" with download (black lithoprint on silver pantone ink), and features on the forthcoming LP/CD/Download, The Space Lady's Greatest Hits."

derived from the admiration for modernist architecture 케이프 now asks the question what comes after? it is about creating a future that is an upgrade to what’s been known. what colour does this future have, what sound? their new ep no. 4 provides a perspective. influenced by avant-garde sounds from the past, japanese and chinese sci-fi culture, and travels to the fifth dimension, 케이프 creates soundscapes for a new era.

Another Dark Age is proud to release Exek's debut LP, Biased Advice, which follows one self-titled cassette EP (2014) and a single contribution to a split cassette (2015). The album collects rerecorded and past material, which together stands as the fullest realisation of an Exek identity, honed during two years of haunting Melbourne’s live gig circuit. 

Before forming as a four-piece band in 2014, Exek remained an abstract concept in the mind of front man-to-be, Albert Wolski. With songs written but no musicians to perform them he enlisted Andrew Brocchi (synthesiser), Henry Wilson (bass) and Sam Dixon (drums) and together they began recording material according to Wolski 's vision.

"Then they were there, on my arms, on my legs, everywhere." - 'Foregin Lesions'

The addition of Nell Grant on saxophone made previously murky reference points plainly obvious: Exek are the progeny of a Melbourne scene that established itself around Dave Chesworth and Philip Brophy’s Innocent record label of the 1980s and its greatest offering,  Essendon Airport’s Palimpsest LP (1981). But Exek  dared to abandon the pop and funk tropes of the early Australian new wave scene reaching out to  German post-punk of the same era. Wolski’s songwriting is akin to that of the records put out by Hannover’s No Fun Records and Hamburg’s Zickzack, channeling the droll lyricism of The 39 Clocks and saturated with self-deprecating Attitude. 

"New friends, new influence, new ring around the finger, a hedonist who finds regret.”  - ‘A Hedonist’

Exek are messengers for today’s young, unemployed, immobile, self-obsessed middle-class.  The themes of societal isolation, heartbreak, consumerism are all funnelled through metaphors of terminal illness, monsters and bondage. Their vision mirrors Tuxedomoon’s ‘Holiday for Plywood’ but crucially Biased Advice is a sermon that Exek preach to themselves. The band pit themselves as both victims and saviours living in a world that’s trying to extinguish them, or worse still, mould them into boring automatons. 

“Spitting image, two legged, stick figured, adolescent, disinfectant, replicant.”  - ‘Replicate’

The conceptual weight carried in Wolski’s lyrics follows on from process. Dub and other studio techniques are used throughout Biased Advice and are no better evidenced in the 16-minute modern (and instant) classic, ‘Baby Giant Squid.’ This song remains unchanged from it’s cassette release on Melbourne’s Resistance/Restraint label but spread out over one side of a record it lays bare its perfection. Basslines that stand out one moment give way to dubbed out percussion, hissing tape delay and reverb drenched vocals. Simply, this post-kraut-dub-psyche-punk excursion looks back over it’s shoulder as it leaves ‘Bella Lugosi’s Dead’ for dead. It’s a sublime balance of improvisation and cold calculation. 

“Excitement entails the probability of murder to eliminate stress.”  - ‘Baby Giant Squid’

It’s the tension between this teetering psychotic nihilism and arrangement with studio-like precision that gives Biased Advice the tone of a forewarning. But of what?

“Listen well.”  - ‘Submitted’

Phèdre wrote and recorded most of this EP on Mozart O., in a Montreal apartment in 2013. After seven years of wistful dreaming, twists and turns, we have finally taken ETERNA from the shelf and polished it off like a mature wine. ETERNA is inspired by the processes of fracturing continuums and collectively transcending. We hope you enjoy it, and that it may provide some imagination and primal escape in these uncertain times. Thank you for listening to our artistic expressions.
Love, Phèdre
