Eerie Wanda - Internal Radio - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For Dutch/Croatian songwriter and visual artist Marina Tadic, Pet Town represents time well spent in one's own shell. Her second LP as Eerie Wanda (and first for Joyful Noise Recordings), Pet Town is a stripped down spectral manifestation, anchored by Tadic's wistful lyrics and self possessed vocal delivery. Mixed by producer Jasper Geluk, the album is perched in warm, homespun recordings-live drums are replaced with handclaps, finger snaps, and a Roland-CR 78 drum machine, enhancing the music's tactile and intimate headspace. Using minimal recording techniques, Tadic shaped these ten songs on sheer intuition, while drawing inspiration from solitude how it can be both a state of euphoria but also one of loneliness-of inner meditation and outer yearning. Tadic is still left guessing how Pet Town came to be, exactly. InchI wrote the songs over a period of time spent inside my shell, and I needed that time. Not escaping it brought me a lot of growth.Inch Like some mysterious shamanic voice from the future, Eerie Wanda hushes turbulent peaks and valleys into a comforting, deft equilibrium. InchI love to think I'm connected with some other dimension which sends me the songs and I can catch them if I'm in the right zone.Inch

Cindy McTee's compositions embody the musical and cultural energy of modern-day America. Circuits, 'a boisterously jazzy sprint' (Detroit Free Press), is followed by Symphony No. 1, a smartly assembled work whose diverse ideas 'seemed to unfold naturally within an orchestral fabric that used the ensemble's full coloristic range' (The New York Times). The use of computer music in Einstein's Dream lends sonic complexity to a piece that celebrates the scientist's work on quantum theory. Double Play, commissioned by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, 'hums with craftsmanship and a catholic array of influences across several centuries' (The Washington Post).

TEE PEE RECORDS - Eerie by Eerie - Frightening black metal / hard rock hybrid EERIE delivers a lycanthropic lashing with it's self-titled debut. Featuring a monster mash of musicians including guitarist Tim Lehi (Draugar, Twilight), bassist Dave Sweetapple (Witch), drummer Moses Saarni (Futur Skullz) and vocalist Shane Baker (Pins Of Light, Alaric), EERIE sets the night on fire with haunting, biting metal that is out of this world! The skeleton of the band's sound rises from the casket of traditional black metal, but EERIE injects the putrid corpse with a solid steel '70s heavy prog backbone, giving life to monstrous music the likes of which the world has never heard before! Come one, come all and experience EERIE's fiendish, fantastic horrorscope of sound!
