Nowy’ means a ‘new one’ in Polish and this single is a celebration of kids’ voices and their approach to novelty. Those untrained voices are great at expressing the joy of discovering new things. Novelty is frequent in kids’ lives and kids are great at being fully absorbed in this newness. This release is a fruit of remote music collaboration between musicians who had no face-to-face contact and were located on 2 continents and in 4 countries. The collaborative process took place in ‘the cloud’ with the use of the Blend platform which facilitated the remixing and exchanges of musical ideas. Participants included Monochrome Echo from England, Brended James from Australia and Aammiioo from Croatia. Included is also a remix created by iubar’s Martin K under his KOshowKO moniker. While the original guitar, field recordings and synth driven piece has been re-imaged quite differently by each of the collaborators, the recordings of kids voices (captured by Martin K in Australia and New Zealand) and guitar drones (recorded by Jarek B in Poland) provide a common sonic denominator to all of the tracks on offer. The KOshowKO remix is a guitar riff driven and catchy affair with a strong electro element. Brenden James’ remix takes the listener on an evocative tropical electro-rock journey while Monochrome Echo explores the mesmerising jazzy-ambient and post-rock ground. Aammiioo closes the release with an expansive and groovy ambient remix.
TW grew up on the streets of London, Ontario and the imprint of this non-descript mid-sized Canadian town has lingered. Taking inspiration from his early years in ‘the other London’, TW has again crafted a fractured and fragmentary tale told through disparate guitar pluckings, found sounds and echo-chamber vocals. With mis-remembered sounds, spellings and sights forming the backbone of the music, TW has hacked away to create something low-fi but also intricate and multi-layered. ‘Laondon’ is his most ambitious musical project yet, building on recent releases including ‘Read this 37 page novel by’ (Illuminated Paths), ‘News-Papier’ (Scavenger Sounds) and a collaboration with Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson, Adam Buffington and Anla Courtis on ‘Top Tomatoes’ (Chocolate Monk). Error Prone Records is proud to bring this unique and raw album to both cassette and digital. credits
