Koban is a storm that has been gathering over the Pacific Northwest since 2011. After an EP and full length recording behind them, the Vancouver-based duo is striking out again with a new 6-song EP on Weyrd Son Records this time, gaining sound and fury in these brooding new tracks. Koban naturally and seamlessly genre bend, their punk roots buried deep under layers of melded synth, goth and post-punk. This creates a unique sound which is simultaneously full and sparse, atmospheric and uneasy. A drum machine creates a baseline over which moody interchanging vocals and blown-out guitar noise quickly and organically oscillates. Their lyrics give a wink and nod to their influences and feature songs sung in French for an icy touch. Koban leave you with a feeling of being utterly new and a sense of déjà vu.
This compilation is created as a companion to the event A Gathering Of Post-everything… an event in two parts in the city of Berlin on the 28th of June 2014. The artists on this compilation are all part of the afternoon performance session. The posters for this event can be found here… Some familiar names of the ET family are featured on this compilation but also some new ones… the music has links to a wide range of traditions like minimal music, techno, noise and electro-acoustic music… but all is done with an open mind… with the aim to create something that goes beyond the definitions and clichés of these styles… Most copies of the tapes were given away for free to the audience at the event… Listen here and order here.
