 ABUNDANCE SUPREME LP / PRE-ORDER NOW |
. |
|
| Over the years of brave experimentation WITHOUT LETTERS have delved into a variety musical genres from noise-rock, krautrock to footwork, trance and hard techno. By filtering out what is the most sincere and engaging in their creative process, they have since rediscovered archives of early clubbing music, its social values and sound aesthetics. That provided fissures for getting around the notion of guitar as once rebellious, now obsolete instrument, its raw immediacy more potent now than ever.Without Letters debut album ABUNDANCE SUPREME comes from Lithuanian club culture, its changes, desired or actually happening and from the parties we’ve been to in the past couple of years. It’s a manifestation of what happens despite the anxieties stemming from the ubiquitous state of abundance. Maybe ABUNDANCE SUPREME is residue from the sexual revolution that never happened in Lithuania, us being its specimen in need for transition. The album is some palpable energy, a proposition yet to be voiced, not in theory, but through our bodies. Pulsing rhythms and piercing hoovers and stabs as suggestive ways of opening up, of being together in a shared space. Suspended between all this being a pretentious farce or potentially a quite pleasant, even pleasurable.Trance inducing rhythmical structures and the sharp guitar outbursts invoke krautrock inspired blissful harmonies without offering an escape. Dark, frantic pace underlies WITHOUT LETTERS set, with clear intent to cut through the hierarchy of performer and the listener, to melt all that into a playful, potentially ecstatic co-participation.
The debut WITHOUT LETTERS album will appear on the 24th of May on our sub-label Partyzanai Pop Records. Premiers and more info about release launch event comming soon …

| GARBANOTAS / REMIXES EP / OUT NOW |
. |
|
| Garbanotas a.k.a. Garbanotas Bosistas (The Curly One) is a Lithuanian neo-psychedelia rock and indie folk rock band which started playing in 2008. Every show of the band witnesses the miracle of dreamy neo-kraut-psychedelic flowers growing out of the amplifiers. In order to transfer bits of this miracle on the club dancefloors 6 remixes were created by present and new Partyzanai Pop artists. Konsistent, Black Feeling, Ement, Bleach Cult, Shkema and Patris took diverse approaches to the songs from the album “Room For You”. The digital Remixes EP will appear on our sublabel Partyzanai Pop Records and will be presented on the 29th of December at event Partyzanai Showcase 2018. Big thanks to Tadas Karpavicius for the graphic design and Pranza (audomastering.lt) for making it sound good.

| LOCAL BLOOD / REMIXES / OUT NOW |

|
| “Yet another post-punk band that is dabbling with minimalism and electronica? No, not really. Local Blood is something different, a more droned out and focused post-punk outfit from Vilnius. With concentrated, dark riffs, they take you into a whole other world then your own. It is somewhat more oriented around the instrumentation itself and less around the fact that it is post-punk – which is good – there need not be another band happily proclaiming to be post-punk because that almost always ends with a bad taste.” (according to repartiseraren.se). “Crawling Borders” and “Forest” from the Local Blood debut EP “A Lure Of Sights” were interpreted for the dancefloor by Shkema, Konsistent, KGBK and Ement.

| WITHOUT LETTERS / UNFOLLOW REMIXES |
. |
|
| After a long but short break a bunch of unexpected interpretations of Without Letters “Unfollow EP” finally got it’s shape. The remixes were made by Lithuanian artists, who are shattered all over the Europe. Straight from London comes an expected ZZ Popcorn „Heritage“ remix, which acoustically can be mistaken as an interpretation of Eurhythmics unknown song. The second interpretation of “Heritage” is made by Shkema, who is constantly involved in sound design projects for the Lithuanian National Drama Theater. The “Sight Lines” remix comes from Denmark. Konsistent, who was one of the initiators of “Untitled Tricks” illegal raves in Copenhagen, took a slow, almost balearic approach. The “Malaria” interpretation was made by the fresh the Berlin resident – Vaiper, who is basically a flag carrier of the Lithuanian trap scene and is a frontman of locally well known Despotin Fam Band. Versatile and quality staff for global ears over here. The Remixes EP in digital format appears on sub-label Partyzanai Pop and will be presented on the 5th of August at event Partyzanai Pop Showcase: Without Letters. Big thanks to for Monika Janulevičiūtė and Tadas Karpavičius the graphic design and Pranza (audomastering.lt) – for making it sound good.

| WITHOUT LETTERS / UNFOLLOW EP / OUT |
|
|
| We are very proud to release on our sub-label Partyzanai Pop the second Without Letters EP “Unfollow”. One of the most modern lithuanian band aim to redefine how a band can sound when the guitar became a non-rebellious instrument. The group’s most recent material is inspired by the increasingly virtual and anxious feeling of the now. Electronic influences as diverse as Floating Points, Elektroguzzi or Jlin, offer an underlying dark and frantic pace to the band’s live set. Trance inducing rhythmical structures and the outbursts of sharp vocals invoke krautrock inspired blissful harmonies while avoiding escapism to a time and place that has passed or never even existed. The EP will be released exclusively on the 28th of September on limited edition MC and digital (Bandcamp), from the 26th of October elsewhere. Here are the references:
