Releasenotes:
The history of Larkian and Yellow6 traces back to around 2001 when Cyril was
running the Tricycle Evolutif record label. He invited Jon to release a 7?
single on the label and this, æGreyÆ was released early 2002. There were some
discussions about a split release at the time but this never came about. Forward
to 2009 and Cyril and Jon get back in contact via individual releases on the
same labels (October Man, Cathedral Transmissions). Cyril sends a track for Jon
to contribute to and the collaboration that has become æOfftempoÆ began. After
around a year of file exchange, composition and recordings, the first common
collaborative effort by Yellow6 and Larkian was ready to find a home.
Neither Larkian or Yellow6 are easily categorised, but both differ from each
other. The mixing of the two styles creates something all its own whilst
retaining the individual. By using an impressive range of effects and ways to
play guitar æOfftempoÆ offers various sound textures and landscapes, from
shoegaze inspired reverb to atmospheric ambiences or epic post-rock melodies.
At times, it is hard to say who played what, which is a good thing, showing it
is not just a superposition of two different styles. The music tends towards the
melancholy but maintains an air of optimism.
This is a joint release by Basses FrΘquences and three:four records.
