Jason Lamoreaux, the great Somewherecold Records owner/manager, gave Noise Artists the honour to have the streaming premiere of the album. Thanks Jason.
Thee Koukouvaya’s lo-fi playful electronica is clever and outside the beaten tracks. It includes influences from 80’s electronic music, videogames as well as their own brand of light but thoughtful composition.
I am sure this is not the last we will hear of them. Another great band of the SomewhereCold tribe.
From 12th December to 14th December, you can listen exclusively to it on the link below. Enjoy.
On their Facebook page, the band present their music as:
“Thee Koukouvaya is the conceptual aural sister city to Vilandredo, Rethymno, on the island of Crete. The group’s architects, based on the East Coast, approach post-rock inflected techno, ambient, and IDM with an eye for depth and structure, assembling crystalline lattices of meticulously programmed drum patterns, frenetically sequenced analog synthesizer rhythms, and luxuriant glacial drones.
Both ominous and celebratory, Thee Koukouvaya engineer inhuman otherworldliness steeped in sci-fi paranoia. The result is a deliberately damaged music, generating a sonic liminal space between the organic and the mechanical. This is the mythology of modern death.”
