eye is back. metamujer marks the third installment on the knekelhuis label and we’re extremely happy to release this document of another chapter in laurène exposito’s life. recorded on various locations ranging from the swiss mountains to the chalky coasts of brittany, metamujer is an 8-track ode to salty love and closeness to nature, a tribute to a modest lifestyle à la henry david thoreau. far from being praise for self-sufficiency, this new lp is deeply influenced by laurène’s environment. we can hear korg ms-10 created synthetic waves (sanatorium) and birds (luscinia), but one can also catch her singing in italian, one of 3 languages spoken in switzerland. still minimalist and yet more aesthetically diverse, her new sounds are on the edge of ebm and synth pop, between classic minimal wave tunes and rustic ballads on acid.
15 song compilation lp in 2-sided hand silkscreened jacket. five tracks previously unreleased fifteen track compilation collecting rare 1970s singles and previously unreleased tracks. with this lp we continue to mine the output of producer carl stereo fletcher and his stereo beat labels. a nice collection of mellow roots reggae, this album features singers, deejays and instrumentals with classics like little roys christopher columbus alongside we have previously unreleased tracks, all roots fans shouldnd something to love here. housed in two sided hand silkscreened jacket.
1/2 gott is the new project of sneaker from dresden/berlin and scannoir from zurich, who share their love for ebm and synth pop not only when djing but also when producing. in several nights and with the help of a decent group of instruments, they have evoked a series of tracks that can certainly be subsumed as new swiss wave. the first record is entitled 1/2 gott and will be followed by gott in the foreseeable future. the result is music that sounds as if the iron curtain had never fallen. although sneaker likes to step to the microphone, he leaves the vocals to scannoir, who gives the perfect counterpart for the menacing beats with his deep laments. the tracks are little masterpieces in the matter of repetition with whipping drums and off-beat percussions. however, they cannot disguise their hymn-like gesture. this must be the sound of a sunrise over the industrial area.
the whole lp is superb but standouts include get it up for love and i ve got your number which have become balearic disco classics, getting heavy rotation from dj harvey, lexx, moonboots and more. a love of your own is a modern soul gem and valentine is just sublime. wonderful stuff!
exposure ist die allererste aufnahme und ihre sechs songs kombinieren perfekt coldwave-basslines, minimale electro-beats, synthpop-melodien und ätherischen frauengesang.
