Comment: if you think Google is omnipotent to
find out easily any sort of information from any edge worldwide then you`re obviously
wrong. Indeed, I have had Laika`s Child`s album The Great Sacramento Fire in my mp3 player for a while but I could
not connect to any record label anymore. Finally I found it thanks to a vague
hint. Indeed, Laika Child has issued its albums through Rack And Ruin catalogue
fitting nicely with its accentuated lo-fi/DIY/primitive music aesthetic. More
profoundly, Laika`s Child`s 5-track issue is composed of clumsy piano chords in
progression, rough rhythmic bits and serene synthesiser induced layers thereby constituting
the balanced whole for the listener`s joy. At times those sounds are vamped
with concrete sounds (for instance, one can hear wintry gusts moving from one
channel to another and burning logs in the stove and exploiting the sounds of a
driving car). Such sort of music reveals more honesty and chimes more organically
than many profoundly produced issues around us at the time. Furthermore, you need
more listening times rather than just having one to discover all the nuances
hidden adeptly to the whole. The artist says that the oeuvre is the product of
boredom, dental work, and pure ambition. That`s OK.
Nota Bene! I was quite disappointed having no success
while trying to download Dylan Ettinger`s issue One Rude Dude (2008). Indeed, his album is still up on the site of
the imprint. As we know very well Ettinger moved on to publish releases under
well-known underground labels like Not Not Fun, and NNA Tapes but that fact should
not exclude his earlier sonic footsteps within the netlabel area.
