AC Meadows, Bad Hammer & Chikiss at West Germany / Friday, 10.11.2017

After a long hiatus of studio sessions with various collaborators and artists, AC Meadows (Angela Chambers) explores the realms of sound and style, selecting from an array of influences. Indie. Wave. Psych. Electro. All are present in this six tracker EP of ambitious proportions which also features Casper Clausen (Efterklang).

With a shadowy velvet voice and hypnotic flute tones, she presents tear-jerking tracks combined with psych-dipped house fading into smoke-shrouded Krautrock experimentation as the listener is lead through a 12” of exotic surprises.

Chikiss is a child of soviet era sci-fi, tinted by the faded glory of suggested futures that never came to be. Her performance draws on nostalgic futurism, both brand new and nodding to obscure numbers by long forgotten, and little known internationally soviet acts. Armed with encyclopediac knowledge of early synth recordings, depicting mischievous romantic mechanical dreams brought into life by analogue machines. A new album is set to be release on December 1, 2017 via NOT NOT FUN rec.

Bad Hammer are playing passionate electro-country. In their wildest phantasies they are scoring super depressing film scenes from the world of broken hearts. Between mental meltdown and hysteria they are always trying to give their very best to one day become the performers they always dreamed to be. On their way to the ultimate goal they will release their first EP in one of the first three months of the year 2018.
