ELA ORLEANS - NEO PI-R (CLAN DESTINE)

Ela Orleans - My Friend Angel from klaus von barrel on Vimeo.

"Originally released on tape and now out on sweet vinyl. Featuring 16 multi-layered and deeply personal tracks.

If you could imagine what it would sound like if Young Marble Giants recorded in Black Ark under the direction of Brain Wilson in his sandbox era, you may be able to visualize the music of Ela Orleans without actually hearing it. NEO PI-R is sparse, but filled with both whimsy and deep brooding symbology.

This is post-punk from the Gaslamp Era.

Ela Orleans manages to utilize some of the more standard trappings of experimental music, toy piano sounds, dub and phase techniques and dead pan vocals.

Track titles exist, but it is best to just let this album flow from song to song… and get lost in its delirium dream."

This record is heartbreakingly beautiful. Lo-fi, Brechtian pop songs filtered through a haze of shoegaze, analogue experimentalism and lo-fi noise. Ela Orleans on Clan Destine Records. The vinyl is a gorgeous piece of work too, amazing cover, and it sounds fantastic.

Com Truise - Polyhurt (Free Download)

Polyhurt
To celebrate the release of Com Truise's debut album, Galactic Melt, Ghostly International are giving away Polyhurt, a slice of loping, aquatic electro-psychedelia that swoops and smashes over the listener. Com Truise (aka Seth Haley) has been making music for over a decade now under various monikers, and this particular creation produces heavy, somnambulist shoegaze, channelled through walls or distortion and heavy analogue synth sounds - kinda like the Cocteaus Twins given an arsenal of Roland kit and forced to listen to acid techno perpetually.

Galactic Melt is available on CD and double pack vinyl from the 4th of July.
