Artist: SOLOLUST / ARTIFECAL / KANIA TIEFFER / FAMILY JEWELS
Title: Total Loss / I Sell My Blood / Split
Format: 7"
Label: Enfant Terrible (@)
Rated: * * * * *
Here we are to talk about three new Enfant Terrible related 7"s releases. The first one is the debut of Sololust. TOTAL LOSS is the title of their first release which came after their participation to 'Kamp Holland'. On this single we have two tracks, on side A the main title is a great melancholic electro minimal with hypnotic sounds and melodic vocal lines. Side B, "Sight Shuffle" is a nice atmospheric instrumental with synth orchestral sounds and upbeat drum beats. The next two singles are out under the Hex Grammofoonplaten sublabel. The first one is titled I SELL MY BLOOD and is a four track EP by the Spanish band Artifecal. They play a sort of minimal synth music with 50s psychobilly / 60s psychedelia influences on "Many Different Faces", "Fly High" and "It's Not Too Late". Try to imagine a slow low-fi version of Hasil Adkins with synth sounds. The Kania Tieffer / Family Jewels split EP is next. With three short tracks for each project the 7" brings to the attention of low-fi experimental sounds the pop extravaganza of Kania Tieffer, who sounds like B-52s on acid thanks to the use of 8bit sounds, catchy guitar lines and post punk influences. Family Jewels sound like shoe-gaze pop played by alien kids with synth toys. You can check the snippets of these three nice releases directly at the label's website.
