Yek Koos chanson mirages and supernatural lap-steel exaltation is the musical invention of Metal Rouge’s Helga Fassonaki, whose siren conduct has been compared to the work of artists such as Christina Carter, Heather-Leigh Murrary and Fursaxa. As Stunned Records writes, Fassonakis 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. Her music has appeared on labels next to Steven R. Smith, Sun Araw, CJA, Hush Arbors and Charalambides’ Tom Carter.
Purple Pilgrims is the duo of Clementine and Valentine Nixon. Their ethereal choral summons and tolling guitar noir unfolds across a moony dwelling of sound, transmitting the sisters’ melancholic folk songs.
