PO: KOM Lim.Book.LP/LP/CD & JENIFEREVER - IRIS LP


Recommended Posts

Hey Hey

After a longer time of preparation we finally can present you two nice new releases. No. 1: the new (first real) full lenght of our friends KOM from Germany. They have recorded 12 unique new pearls and Nick again did an amazing packaging job: we're offering 100 pieces as a very special limited completely hand assembled book. Further details below. No. 2: finally available on vinyl: the JENIFEREVER - IRIS record from 2004. Strictly limited to 500 pieces.

You can preorder via www.denovali.com/mailorder.

Further news concerning the IROHA + FRAGMENT CD/LP and CELESTE - MORTE(S) NEE(S) CD/2xLP shipment will hopefully follow soon. We're expecting both records in the next days.

Thanks a lot for the great feedback concerning this year’s denovali SWINGFEST. You still can check out the lineup and order your ticket via www.denovali.com/swingfest.

Cheers

Denovali

KOM – BERRY WHITE Lim.Book.LP/LP/CD

"KOM are back with their first real full length. The new record BERRY WHITE doesn't change their opinion about music and how they want to reach people – but with these new 12 songs they maybe get the attention of a wider audience they deserve. You still can't talk about 12 single songs because this record again just makes sense if you look at it as a whole piece of art. It's the homogeneity of artwork (a very limited handmade book fort the vinyl version/handprinted cardboard sleeves for the cd version), lyrics, interludes and the real songs which makes the record unique and outstanding. They still write and play those little pieces of art far away from established genre clichés. You can call it a mixture of indie-rock, singer songwriter or postrock – but all of these bromides don't fit at all. They're very influenced by old 60's film music – but don't sound like that. They like to listen to ROBERT WYATT, HARMONIA or RADIOHEAD – but they don't copy them. They're just KOM – four guys from three cities in Germany who visit a small cottage in the woods every 2nd year to write a new refreshing and outstanding record..."

JENIFEREVER – IRIS LP

"It may be just a four-track EP but don’t whatever you do think this is a ‘quick-spin-while-getting-ready-to-go-out’ job. Clocking in at no less than 37 minutes Jeniferever are a band all-too-fluent in the art of drawing out a song and building upon it wonderfully expressive Sigur Ros-esque art-scapes. As you begin to absorb such delicate waves of sound you start to view their music more as works of art, where, in 'White Belt, Black Heart' especially, ebbing strings and flowing bursts of colour are shaded warmly while evocations of long-treasured emotions are given chance to unfold once more. (...) Without getting too poetic about it, 'Iris' is simply a beautiful record that you'll find caressing your hangover time and time again."

thanks a lot to everyone who preordered those new releases so far. first review for the new kom:

DISAGREEMENT (8/10)

Fame is a curse reserved only for a few bands, and while most artists may secretly hope to make it big somehow someday, Kom from Germany try their hardest to stay underground. Their first sign of life was a double 3” CD book in 2006, followed three years later by a handmade 10” vinyl record. It must seem therefore outrageous that they finally decided to release a longplayer on a label, although the fact that they chose the independent company Denovali should soothe their sparse fan base.

As should be expected from artists with such a strong sense of aesthetics, Berry White doesn’t sound commercial at all, and even takes some time and patience to develop some sense of accessibility. The twelve featured tracks are all quite short, making it to only thirty-five minutes. It would be much to talk of songs, because their compositions come with a sense of intimacy encountered only rarely in modern music. There are of course traces of indie rock, maybe some post rock, a singer/songwriter sensibility, and the omnipresent melancholy has an undeniable sad core leaning, but in the end Kom just do their very own thing.

The instrumentation is very varied, mostly acoustic, with guitars and harmonium dominating the sound, while the rhythm section stays discreetly in the background. The vocals are soft and come with a hushed quality. It makes sense that the four musicians like to listen to Robert Wyatt and Radiohead, the former giving his idiosyncratic approach and the later showing in the overall unforeseeable songwriting.

Berry White is an album that you want to listen to at home, in a dark room, with the blinds closed and the door safely locked behind you. The CD comes of course in a beautiful handmade cardboard sleeve, and vinly lovers either get the regular 180g version or the very limited handmade book version.
