B1. Jónbjörn - We're Not Alone
B2. Viktor Birgiss - Að Handan


The Lagaffe boys have a special one for you. Lagaffe 10 marks the 10th EP in our vinyl series and serves as a perfect way to end our 10th year in existence. To mark this occasion we are releasing a 4 tracker with our founders and label regulars. 

The EP opens up with Cohen Social Club by Flexi Leifs aka Felix Leifur. Our man Felix lost his drum machines last spring but luckily he found a guitar and some drums. The track starts off with suspicious sounding guitar notes that somehow up as pure beauty, giving hope in the darkest of places. Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean. Playful reverbs and echos give the tune the classic Felix Leifur feel to it! 

Moff & Tarkin has the next track "Pure Fury", some breakbeats and cheesy disco vocals, why change a winning recipe? 

Next up is "We are not alone " by label boss Jonbjörn. I think this is what Elton John meant when he said "thank god for those electro bangers!" Solid 909 drum work featuring dramatic chords and some original vocal work. If you can spot the sample write us on Soundcloud and you might win a year's worth of LaCafe Tales! 

With "Að handan" Viktor Birgiss comes back to the label in style. Our mastering engineer described it as having the loudest kickdrum in history, imagine that! Lo fi dub sounding drums interlaced with atmospheric chords, made for those late night intimate moments on the dancefloor, again Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean.

Always Maybe Tomorrow

https://www.smallplasticanimals.com/release/7018/yagya/always-maybe-tomorrow

After the 2020 release of Old Dreams And Memories, Icelandic dub techno linchpin Yagya returns for a second release on his emergent label, Small Plastic Animals. This latest venture marks a new chapter in the artist’s accomplished career, having released on Delsin, Subwax BCN and A Strangely Isolated Place as well as forming a core part of the Thule collective alongside his partner in Sanasol, Thor. As those associations ably point out, the music Yagya crafts is spacious and atmospheric, using the techno tradition as a vessel for meditative as well as emotional exploration and experimenting with sound design according to a specific, patiently cultivated style.

Always Maybe Tomorrow finds Yagya ruminating on the behavioural energy of environments as viewed from afar – the man-made electricity of urban expanses and the interconnected flora and fauna of ecosystems. Looking to his chosen tools as a means to express these ideas, he employed a non-linear approach to each of the four tracks on this EP, choosing to create musical systems in constant flux rather than composing each piece in a conventional left-to-right narrative. Yagya’s trademark voluminous chords and vast pads ebb and flow through filters controlled by LFOs and randomness, creating their own micro-incidents and macro evolution as though holding a mirror up to the environments the initial inspiration was drawn from.

Two Moments

Orchids

The dynamic plot, combined with a set of glossy basses, whispering percussion and classical delays, jogs the memory of the old-school shades. Its deep intonations fit perfectly into the solid arrangement, representing the energy of the sea surf. The reunion with the natural principle is in full swing in the continuous version by Havantepe.

Dust

Icelandic dub techno icon, Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson, known as Yagya, is one of few artists we have encountered that prefer the LP format over EPs. Having consistently released an album every few years for more than 20 years, Yagya is about to release his 9th studio album, "Faded Photographs" later this month. Yagya described the LP as his "most involved and time-consuming project to date" and also pointed out that it "marks an exceptionally confident return to the art of songwriting". The album features vocals from Saint Sinner, Benoit Piolard, Bandreas, but the majority of the tracks on the album contain vocals solely from Guðmundsson himself. 

Today, we are honored to present the opening track from "Faded Photographs" - "The Downpour". The track emits many emotions we have come to expect from Yagya's work, nostalgia, melancholy, even mourning. Featuring strings from Pablo Hopenhayn, the track really gives a taste of what feelings to expect as one embarks on the rest of the album's journey.  Yagya described the album as being "an utterly seamless experience, demanding to be heard as a whole", so it only felt right to premiere the opening track as to not interrupt the intended flow.
"Faded Photographs" comes out on Yagya's own Small Plastic Animals on March 17, 2023
