KALAHARA – “AUGUSTINE”
A Spill Exclusive Video Premiere
Actually the first piece of music the pair wrote together, βAugustineβ is a more stripped back and emotive affair this time. The sparse production gives the vocal room to breathe evoking a sense of release and letting go. The music develops around a percussive swung conga leading you into Lydia Kayeβs incredible haunting vocal. Her beautiful multi layered harmonies glide over the deep rising bass-line, sonically enforcing the repeating motif βI lost myselfβ building the track into a piece of dreamy down-tempo alt-pop becoming mesmerizing with the subtle chorus hooking you in on a subconscious level.
The EP comes with remixes from some of the undergrounds finest in the form of remixes from Bandulu gangβs very own Boofy & Wu Yen ( Hi5Ghost). Both take the original and flip it into straight up fire taking elements of the vocal but then dropping into their trademark dutty 808βs, snares and soundsystem shaking bass. Finishing off with a glitchy remix from newcomer Art|Thft the EP is complete. Expect big things in the near future from him π
The original is also accompanied by an absolutely stunning video from the incredibly talented filmmaker Craig Murray (Mogwai, Snow Ghost, Houndstooth etc) starring his own wife, who pairs the delicate original with a brilliant short film. Using his trademark elements of stop motion animation and film, taking its influence from a mutual love of βkomorebiβ , space and the universe and everything in between it is the final piece of the puzzle to complete the release.
