Release Notes:
"RUINS OF MORNING shows NADJA in a very experimental & dark
poetic mood. Their contribution for the "Substantia Innominata"
-series (dealing with / drawing inspiration from the "Unknown",
"Unnameable" or "Not-Knowable") comes in two long parts based
around one musical theme that appears again and again (a great
dark harmonic phrase moving through different levels through
this epic track), linked by very beautiful drone-sections &
more noisy outbursts. Song-orientation and a more experimental
sound-art approach are thus combined perfectly.
The phantastic lyrics from Aidan Baker point in a very poetic
way to an utopian new morning where material values play no
role anymore, but a new state of sensual being is settled in
an almost J.G.BALLARDian way, when perceptions of the environment
(sky, lights, sun) and the beloved (eyes & skin) fall into one.
Or is this a nocturnal boundless dream-phantasy? The wish / fear
to return to mothers womb, a state where everything is one (one
is all) again? These lyrics open up a scope of vague possible
interpretations witch match up perfectly with the impressing
music; a music that describes "The Unknown" in strong metaphors
of surrealistic psychic states of being.
Experience the avantgardish drone-metal duo at their most dark
& beautiful and on their very first 10" ! Edition of 500 copies
on GOLDen vinyl, fantastic artwork by Marcin Lojek (ibsendesign.pl).
One track in two very long parts, playtime 40+ minutes!!"
