KAYAKAYA 009EP
|
Following their second album The Shape Of The Dance (2016), Tomaga present the four track EP Greetings From The Bitter End which features two new songs and reworkings from Shit & Shine and Cavern Of Anti-Matter. The impetus for the new EP came when the pair returned from recording the last album in Tuscany and acquired a marimba on arrival back in London, this unleashed a "tuned percussion journey" resulting in the mantra-like "Liberating Mania". The title track is a more ambient and atmospheric affair -- a textured build-up of percussive parts and features Rick Tomlinson on hornet.

Following the November 2014 release of their debut, Futura Grotesk, London-based duo Tomaga drew plaudits from musical luminaries as diverse as Tony Conrad, Nicolas Jaar, Silver Apples, and Wire, who invited the duo to join them on a European tour. If Futura Grotesk represented waking thought, then their follow-up, Familiar Obstacles, is the unconscious interzone, evoking numerous shades of the group's musical hinterlands. It fuses studio experiments, field recordings, and tonal spectra into something by turns resembling musique concrète, imaginary soundtracks, and library music. Familiar Obstacles was originally released as a limited cassette by the Blank Editions label in Spring 2015, and appears here re-edited and remastered for vinyl.
