KURDAITCHA

MamaleekAEs Kurdaitcha is finally back in print! The San Francisco-based duo released their third album of weirdo black metal, Kurdaitcha, on the legendary cult label Enemies List Home Recordings (Have a Nice Life, Giles Corey), and it quickly sold out. For years the LP has been a hard to find collectorAEs item. Kurdaitcha finds the project in its initial period of creating music influenced by black metal, hip hop, jazz, and spirituals. Founded in 2008 in the Bay Area by two anonymous brothers, Mamaleek has explored a vast sonic territory on the edge of a genre renown for its aversion to change. Their expert utilization of left-field samples and unconventional instrumentation, and their insistent drive to experiment continues to set the band apart from their peers. This pressing of Kurdaitcha has been remastered and features a previously unreleased bonus track with a gold foil stamped jacket. oMamaleek are the great destroyers.o u Invisible Oranges'oAn incredibly rich and rewarding experience.o uHeavy Blog Is Heavy oIs it good, though' ItAEs fucking mental. ItAEs amazing. ItAEs absolutely horrible. ItAEs barely listenable at times and yet you canAEt turn it off. The music is perfect. Like broken glass is perfect.o uEchoes And Dust oThe group cloaks its music in the kind of warm, hypnotic distortion that defines shoegaze, and underneath that haze is a style thatAEs conceptually abrasive yet altogether beautiful.o u FORBES
