Minimal Wave Records

The Turkish girl band Kim Ki O was already present on the Enfant Terrible compilation “Radio Resistencia”. ‘Dans’ is the official debut of Kim Ki O and features six lo-fi pop songs which at times are extremely catchy but never too easy or slick in anyway. At other times the music is more tranquil and becomes hypnotic dream pop that will soothe you, but hasn’t a single dull moment.

Kim Ki O’s music is perfect lo-fi indie pop with that vibrant touch of the modern metropolis Istanbul they come from. Very evident are the New Order inspired melancholy melodies, the Casiotone For The Painfully Alone like cheap and charming electronic rhythms and that special 4AD sort of quality throughout the songs.

out now and in (web)shops soon…

...and this is what Impose Magazines says about it:

“Kim Ki O is a duo from Istanbul that gathers the seemliest ghosts of past eras and threads them into soft and minimal tapestries where every specter is stitched perfectly in its place. There’s delicate, high-end new wave synthesized alongside shiny white shoegaze vocal harmonies and always throughout, the long-form minimal planks of kraut’s godfathers of dance holding it together like sinewy scaffolding.”

nice release! will it be available at rush hour? and is it an only vinyl release?

Thansk! Yes, it is vinyl only and Rushhour should get some… asked the shopowners… as they are planning an order… so then you can be sure they will also have this title in stock…

I checked… Rushhour has ordered the Kim Ki O but asked to wait with shipping untill the two new 7 inches (Neurobit and Staatseinde) are ready… I think these will be here at the end of this month / early October…

Thnx for the quick answers! Are there any other webshops in NL who sell the release, like clone?

Shiny Beast sells them (mailorder only), Clone… they have not decided yet ,  for shops in the real world also you could ask Worm shop (Rotterdam) and Antenne (Tilburg)... they have most of my releases for sale most of the time…

Just got a few of this for DISTRO @ http://avantdistro.blogspot.com/
