Konie
The club is open
Razzia Records
Konie is experimental electronica from Stockholm (see sample on March 27th, 2007) with a big difference: all samples are from taperecorder tapeloops. At most times, the album just blends it all together as one endless buffet - the selections are bad for you, yet they can become highly addictive - but then you catch a snippet here and there that sounds appealing. Take for example the intro for the album that welcomes you warmly to the 'club', while "History/Science" tackles quirky subject matter. However, the track that sticks out the most it "My life is shit but I am funky", reminiscent of Blair's "Have fun go mad". It's songs like these that make me wish there'd be more singles. There are upwards of 20 different instruments used in the total of 16 songs featuring 15 contributing artists. With that much choice, I'm sure you'll find a favourite track.
