Drown (feat. Clive Jones)

Blue Room / Varför Svek Du?

The seven inch displays some of what was to come, the title track is a slightly drifting and dark sonic landscape with Sanna Saarinens haunting vocals and Victoria Johnsons electric violin soaring above. The B-side is a minimal but rich soundscape with touch of mellotrons hinting back at Popol vuh´s cinematic days.  The cover was done by New York based artist and musician Steven Cerio, which later was included as the main drummer of Sonisk Blodbad. Cold minimal electronics.
