2 New Reviews

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

It’s a two review day! First, this perceptive write-up of the Stay Safe mini-release from Mat Smith of Further., including:

“Sounding like the infinitely looped announcements you might expect to hear in a post-apocalyptic urban wasteland where no one survived, something about what Elizabeth has done here seems to tap directly into the sensation of paranoid dread and existential panic that have become the cornerstones of our daily locked-down lives.”

Next, Pietro Da Sacco from Igloo Magazine tackles the Strange Selectors compilation, referring to the “alluring, dreamlike downtempo strands” of my contribution, “The Heart Sounds Like Heavy Artillery.”

Thanks to both Mat and Pietro!

I bookmarked this and somehow lost track of it, but DJ Bleek (one of the Strange Selectors!) played a number of tracks off the just-released Strange Selectors compilation on Hollow Earth Radio’s Urban Mutant show on September 2 alongside loads of other “Haunted and Damaged radio” selections. Catch the recap on Mixcloud or below.

Strange Selectors Review on I Heart Noise

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

There’s a very nice review of the forthcoming Strange Selectors compilation on I Heart Noise. David Soulscorch had this to say about my contribution:

The compilation opens wistfully with “The Heart Sounds Like Heavy Artillery” by the New Orleans based electronic composer Elizabeth Joan Kelly. A suitably gentle opening track built around an ambient soundscape with an almost industrial sounding rhythm.

Strange Selectors is available for pre-order now as a digital download and/or (gorgeous) CD, and releases on September 28. Proceeds go to Médecins Sans Frontières. Still need convincing? Read the rest of David’s review over on the I Heart Noise blog.

Electronica has a short but sweet review of the Werra Foxma Records Strange Selectors compilation, including my “The Heart Sounds Like Heavy Artillery.” From the review,

“The result is an excellent compilation of experimental electronica, ambient, hauntology, and analogue knob-twiddling.”

Read the whole things over at electronica.org.uk. And don’t forget that proceeds go to Médecins Sans Frontières, so you can feel good about your purchase while listening to amazing tunes.
