About this product

The debut full-length album by Kee Avil, a project led by Montréal producer and guitarist Vicky Mettler. Crease is a singular expression of deconstructed electroacoustic postpunk songcraft chiselled minimalist guitar, sinuous low-end electronics, various prepared instruments, a panoply of organic and digital samples creating alternately twitchy and propulsive rhythm, all galvanized with the intimacy of her finely wrought lyricism and vocals. Bound by an outstanding production sensibility throughout, Crease unfolds one oblique earworm hook after another, with compositional innovation anchored to an inscrutable and compelling voice across 10 songs of tremendous and imaginative sonic detail. Alongside her superb austere guitar work, stitched together in electro-industrial, dark-ambient and minimal-techno soundworlds, her voice and lyrics-confidential, hermetic and ineffable-provide an ever-shifting and always captivating through-line. Kee Avil brings a unique sensibility to bear on traditions and conventions of avant-pop, art-rock, electronic and sound-art songwriting, where touchstones range from Scott Walker and Coil to Fiona Apple, (early) PJ Harvey and (later) Juana Molina to Eartheater, Pan Daijing and Smerz-or like Grouper produced by Autechre. 180gLP includes 12Inchx24Inch poster + DL card.

Kee Avil - Spine   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The follow-up to Kee Avil's acclaimed 2022 debut Crease InchA stunning debutInch (TheQuietus); InchA whiplash style of uninhibited explorationInch (The Wire); InchKee Avil's debut is aforceInch (Foxy Digitalis); InchA work of Frankensteinian wonderInch (Electronic Sound); InchA tightlycoiled, finely wrought vision of avant-popInch (Exclaim); InchA debut of fiendish creativityInch(Bandcamp Album Of The Day / Albums Of The Year)Kee Avil's music is both adventurous and intimate, intellectually challenging andemotionally resonant. The Montréal guitarist and producer's 2022 debut LP Creasegarnered plaudits from outlets like The Wire, The Quietus, Mojo and Foxy Digitalis, pickingup a Canadian Juno Award nomination and Bandcamp Album Of The Day and Albums OfThe Year along the way. It's intricate construction, unnerving atmospheres, and knife-edgetake on avant-pop prompted comparisons to early PJ Harvey, This Heat, and Gazelle Twin.A remix EP with work by claire rousay, Ami Dang, Cecile Believe, and Pelada broughtcollaborative perspectives to four Crease tracks, offering new pathways within those songs.With Spine, Kee Avil strips back her heavily textured compositions, opening up a muchrawer sound. She calls it folk-and while traditionalists might scoff, this is urgent musicthat reflects the precarity of modern life, as well as the jarring mixture of electronic andreal-world interactions that have become the fabric of our day-to-day experiences.There's a hypnotic post-punk somnambulance to it all, using the repetition and fracturingof melodic phrases interwoven with delicate electronics to create curious and persistenthooks. While not a concept album, themes of time's passage, remembrance, and decaycrop up across multiple tracks. Each track intentionally only has four elements-guitar,electronics, and two other instruments, with Kee's voice and guitar pushed to the front.With
