emerald cocoon press release...

yek koo alone together #3 - oh woman / flame creation 7" [ec005] helga fassonaki (of metal rouge) returns as yek koo with her first new release since last years 'i saw myself' on stunned records. gone are the horizontal string-sprawl epics of past, replaced by a new density and compositional focus. dictaphone guitar-swirl and declamatory vocal preaching atop loping nod-out rhythm samples, you could almost say yek koo has gone pop …. until the b-side hits: a sheet of live industrial slamming recorded at la's now defunct spiritual hub, the echo curio, that sounds like a realtime channelling of kali. as hard to pin down as ever, the closest point of comparison would be the morley / russell split 7" lathe on corpus hermeticum left to percolate in the merciless californian sun and even that sounds nothing like it. confusing, enticing, nuanced and brutal. part 3 of the 'alone together' series. mastered by pete swanson. edition of 300.

stunned press release...

yek koo — i saw myself c27 (stunned no. 69) a lone voice etches straight to dictaphone the vibrations which have been petrified far too long in mere stone & silicone. identity awoken in a night of raw fidelity, this oracle’s expression inhabits trance tones and punk-chant poesis. gouge out your eye and trade it in for better ears, because helga fassonaki’s solo project yek koo is back after a nearly two-year hiatus. quite a spirited fever has accumulated since this half of la’s metal rouge performed her ‘psychic atonement for land deaths’ on digitalis. ‘i saw myself’ shatters any restricting mirror of our species with yek koo’s dynamically expanded vocal range and we are left freed, finding peace among the shards and surrender in the pieces. special hand numbered edition of 111 pro-dubbed & imprinted c27 tapes with double-sided die cut color jcard and insert.
