Eli Keszler
R.L.K

This record left our Ant feeling happy.

This Eli Keszler 'R.L.K' CD is very interesting. There's just so much happening I find it difficult to lock into any particular part before another sound or rhythm attracts my attention. The tumbling percussion and big cymbal crashes are great . Then there's some brooding electronics, very sleepy sounding and dreamy guitar washes and drones. I honestly can't think of anyone this sounds like. If you liked the release Eli did on the Something on the Road label then this is well worth checking out. Quality avant/ experimental/ improv stuff. Comes in lovely hand embossed, painted and stamped sleeve.

What their label says...

r.l.k develops slowly and subtly with gradually shifting sounds, from intense activity to near stasis. murky guitars, resonating bowed cymbals and electronics move around the open space of the recording, creating large blocks of ambiguous sound, all while crackling free drums twist across the surface. the music morphs into droning guitars, bowed percussion, feed back and beating overtones. the drums re-enter into a spacious atmosphere during the last section, where nail violin and bowed percussion play counter part to the drums broken timing.

r.l.k is a re-issue of an out of print cdr from 2007. packaged in a hand embossed, stamped and painted 'arigato pak' r.l.k is a limited edition pressing of 500, and is the first  'official' cd release for keszler and for rel records.
