Fresher-than-fresh copies of this great new Nika Son LP, dropped off directly here at RWDFWDHQ during her recent tour-stop in Bristol (cc Nina) -

Packing a hallucinogenic, mind-bending concoction of refracted frequencies, sounding, to us, like a third eye visual of a flickering, dimly lit display that sounds like a murky light show on a tumultuous voltage current of electricity, David Lynch / TP Season 3 style.
Nika Son takes us into cerebral+emotive excursions through sound and mood, through wide-reaching recordings and synthesized frequencies, shot through a kaleidoscopic lens of multi-effects and sample-sound trickery, To Eyeore is the name of the new album, co-released by Allon & Victor - themselves also long time friends and supporters of RWDFWD too (hi both!) - via the excellent Entr'acte and Stellage labels.

  Video for "Fake News" by Helena Wittmann.

"The compositions of the Hamburg-based artist Nika Son, which draw on techniques of musique concrète, seem to stem from an enthusiasm for the particle, the snapshot and, nomen est omen: the concrete. For sounds, the tone. It gurgles, splashes and speaks from the tracks of Nika Son's first solo LP "To Eeyore", which brings together collage-like impressiveness and the exploratory nature of an essay. Speech samples and modified field recordings buzz, roll and slide through her music like through a blurred Escher painting, and Nika Son determines the rules of logic. She does not betray them, however, and wraps the concrete, the individual, in attractive vagueness without ever letting it sink.
(Lasse Eskold Nehren)"

Expectedly slick design with minimalist off-white-on-white print on the front cover, edition of 200 copies.
