about

The debut release from Summer Kagan offers two sides of all-enveloping analogue drone and bubbling synths - a palimpsest of tape recordings; deep layers of texture like a Rothko painting in sound.

"... the debut release from Edinburgh-based producer Summer Kagan is a winner too... 'Sumner', we suspect as in Bernard rather than Gordon, shifts from deep growl to squall to bright chimes, while 'Jeanlu' is a more meditative, FSOL-flavoured offering. A great start for a label worth keeping an eye on."
- Electronic Sound #65 electronicsound.co.uk

"Whoever Summer Kagan is, he (she?) does a fine job at creating two, twenty-minutes of solid drone music. It is forceful, with a tendency towards a bit of distortion. Think of it as a few keys stuck firmly down and sound effects, filters, oscillators or whatever they are called, colour the sound and the result closely resembles a bit of utter minimalist shoegazing drone music, especially on the first side, 'Sumner'. 'Jeanlu' on the other side is loud and mellow at the same time and the slow meandering bass sound below, cut short to almost a 4/4 rhythm reminded me of Wolfgang Voigt's Gas, but it ending was not unlike a few bend guitar notes. When I went back for some final notes, I noticed a similar rhythmic drive in the first piece, yet none of this becomes dance music. This is quite some powerful mood stuff, which should be played loud to feel the full effect."

Aldous Huxley once wrote, 'After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.' At the turning of the day.... is like a beautiful opiate that lingers long after the silence returns. pappasan
