Karina ESP A Still From The Film

A Still From The Film' is a sort of sister release of 2012's 'Detachment'. But this album is at the same time more abstract, and more accessible. The a-side is one sidelong melody rising out of a mix of hiss, crackles and guitarsounds. The b-side of the record is more straightforward, with a prominent role for Gower's vocals, which makes the album stand out far from his contemporaries. The album is pressed on high-quality German vinyl, and comes in an open sleeve printed by Smeraldina-Rima, with download coupon, in an edition of just 150 copies. Press quotes: "Karina ESP sets in slow motion a series of tonal drifts from attack suppressed guitar resonance and carefully controlled amplifier feedback, resulting in a barren and vaguely hostile environment." ~The Wire. "Meandering guitar drones that make you lose all sense of time, like you're half asleep and half awake." ~VPRO Dwars. Recommended if you like Windy & Carl, Hood, Circle Bros, melodic drones and guitar ambient.
