RB 119EP
|
Katerina's full-blown debut EP for Running Back melds cultural images of both places she calls home. Alternatively hailing from Helsinki or Sofia, she serves ethereal vocals, heartbreaking melodies and the chilly melancholic strains of the north to meet an optimistic and at times cheerful mood, paired with pop music themes, heavy bass lines and an upbeat drum section. Six tracks of idiosyncratic and independent dance motifs (including two ambient takes) that all go against the grain of the fast pace of life today, cheap thrills and unnecessary kills. All symbolized in the lyrics of the lead song "Get To Know You" or the instrumental love ballad "Rain In Her Eyes" and bound together by "Marsu The Cat" or "Time Machine." An EP with the depth of an LP, lots of weight and even more character. Powerful, wonderful and more durable than the remains of one day.

"One of the hardest thing as a musician is to maintain this naive, almost utopian and emotional approach to our music. Especially when it comes to a highly codified genre like electronic music which appeared in the late '80s/early '90s like a promise of a bright future for music, everything sounding so fresh and revolutionary. When Katerina sent me those demos I heard that freshness, that pure intention, something I remember from discovering melancholic Detroit tunes in the '90s or early Warp Artificial Intelligence compilations, bridging the gap between techno and more intricate electronica." --Joakim
