How Everything Turns Away
_R

Kaiku
Kaiku mp3.08

"How everything turns away quite leisurely from the disaster" - W.H. Auden

_R embraces the political in a new mini-album. Frustrated with the turning of too many blind eyes towards national and international events, our hero emerges from the darkness with four tracks navigating his - and our - inner struggles against a world gone awry.

Includes the following tracks:
1. We need to create a political crisis in order to rescue art from a quagmire of impotence
2. Action is elegance
3. A kind of excellent dumb discourse
4. The rest is silence

Surfaces
Mark Roberts

Kaiku
Kaiku mp3.01

'Surfaces' is comprised of an extraordinarily varied collage of sound, considering that the only sound source was the minute scrapes and whispers made by the slow movement of John Court’s body accross a wooden platform. The sounds conjure up images of time slowed down; of creaking boats set adrift on an ocean of noise; of electric birds pulsating through the sky; of a forgotten computer’s blips and beeps as it churns out irrelevant data; and of a distance power source ramping up power until it reaches critical mass. 11 tracks, 72 minutes.

Separation ep
Rudolph Eindeer

Kaiku
KaikuPop 02

The second mini-album from Rudolph Eindeer, 'Separation', explores a darker , more melancholic pop-ambient territory. 'Separation' is in effect the flip side of 'Latecomers', or perhaps the anticlimax at the end of the party.

Latecomers ep
Rudolph Eindeer

Kaiku
KaikuPop 01

Rudolph Eindeer's first ep, available once again for the first time (!), five years after its original completion. On 'Latecomers' Eindeer exposes a more melodic approach, somewhat different to that which fans might be familiar with.
