Ak-Duck and Something On The Road are proud to present the
debut mini-album by singer / songwriter / producer
Nico-Teen / Zohar Shafir.
Shafir is an important part of Ak-Duck. Throughout the
years she's played roles in a large portion of the label's
output: she's sung on a few tracks from Spark-O's album,
she's played and sung on the tribute album to the TV series
"Buffy The Vampire Slayer", released by Rockstar-Wannabe
(with whom Shafir founded, two years ago, the live act
K.G.Babes), she's sung on Polish Butterfly's debut album,
and she contributed greatly to Ak-Duck's two latest
compilations. Shafir's personal musical story is different
in it's temperment and tone from the various productions
she's participated in.
"Workshop" is a work free of convention. The album's tracks
range from noisy and evasive instrumentals to sweet
domestic/home-made pop. Shafir creates from an intimate and
intuitive place, and it seems like the music she creates
has it's own independent life. In many instances the
melodies she creates - through vocal manipulations, shabby
synthesizers and improvised instruments - turn into pure
and captivating pop songs. These characteristics, and more,
bring to mind the work of rising american artist, Ariel
Pink (the first signing on Animal Collective's label), who
creats timeless pop hits that remain secret and hold on to
their original magic thanks to an entirely original
low-tech formula.
Nico Teen's album is a musical experiment that will
challenge fans of electro-acoustic acts like Laila and
Colleen, and in the same breath will invigorate Kate Bush
fans as well!
The disc includes six libraries brimming with sounds and
loops (in wave format) from the Nico-Teen workshop, that
serve as an in-depth look into the creator's world and can
be used by the listener to create his own songs.
