GIRLS, BE SERIOUS (TWO OF THRE

Limited high quality seven inch vinyl pressing of this 2015 single including digital download. Where ominous, fuzzed-out textures and energetic, geometric electronics meet, you'll find Brooklyn's Elika. The power duo of multimedia artists Evagelia Maravelias and Brian Wenckebach have quietly recorded and released a torrent of adventurous music since 2006, earning recognition the old fashioned way. It paid off. Elika have toured internationally, and were recently handpicked to support shoegazers Asobi Seksu and revered dream-electro musician and producer Ulrich Schnauss, who went on to describe Elika as "an incredibly exciting, radical fusion of shoegaze and electronica elements." Elika's latest-Girls, Be Serious-is a trilogy of 7 inch records that will be revealed, one by one, over the next year. The records place intense emotional content into an ocean of complex programmed rhythms a la Grimes and M83, with an emphasis on honey-coated vocals and washes of distant, dreamy synths and guitars.
