(Beats / Darkwave / Synth ) Ratkiller - Gallic Cones (WEB) - 2012, FLAC (tracks), lossless

EDASI - Tallinn

Tihti tunduvad filmid vanadel kulunud lindiga videokassettidel huvitavamad. Eriti just õudusfilmid, sest laialivalguvates, udustes värvides on kõik palju salapärasem. Detailid jäävad nägemata ja fantaasia töötab seda elavamalt. EDASI sahiseval ja ragiseval muusikal on sama eesmärk - pakkuda tontlikku ja psühhedeelset helielamust läbi lo-fi ja müra spektri.

Ratkiller is a side project of Estonian black noise band EDASI and this is it's first full length album.
In case you're puzzled about the peculiar title and concept of "Gallic Cones" - well, it's not all nonsense. It illustrates one certain part from my childhood, the time when I used to play with action figures. I also had some comic books. Disney stuff, Lucky Luke, but my favorite was Asterix. I guess mostly due to detailed and carefully depicted historic imagery. It doesn't have very important part in my life nowadays, but some details still haunt my memory. So, when I was sketching the cover art, suddenly for no particular reason those menhirs came to mind. Maybe because I never quite figured out what was the story behind those giant stones. And I thought why not dedicate the whole album to that gallic superhero. As good concept as any other. Though I have to admit that the music doesn't reflect that too clearly. But I hope you still enjoy it.
Yours sincerely,
Mihkel Kleis
