Rental Yields pre-release and new plays

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

Surprise, new release! Thrilled to be working with the Gated Canal Community again, this time doing remixes of other artists’ work to benefit SPIN (Supporting People in Need). Rental Yields: Volume One releases on August 3 and includes my reimagining of sounds from The Burning Trestle, and you can listen RIGHT NOW.

Many thanks to THEE Graham Dunning for playing the track on NTS’s Fractal Meat On A Spongy Bone. Archive on the NTS website and tracklist on Graham’s.

And the angel that is Kate Bosworth played the track on her always stellar Dark Train on Warminster Community Radio.

Eternally happy to have Yes I Know It Sucks as a fan and friend, thank you for playing my (lol) solo duet of “Endless Love” on Beachy Head Radio’s Funderground.

BMF #2b on YIKIS and Hiapop

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

Thanks to Hiapop and Yeah I Know It Sucks for sharing the Blue Moon Frequency #2b [Summer Mix] video, and to Yeah I Know It Sucks for yet another charmingly nonsensical review:

There is the rhythm, which feels like we are listening to a garden shed full of tools in which a DIY hero is busily building its own garden furniture. There is the electric bass, so nice and thick that you can imagine wanting to sit on one of these freshly built chairs without ever standing up. Next to that we have that sun-providing sound of someone stroking a few guitar strings – which is always the right recipe to go for when in need for a certain warmth-holiday feel and vibe.

Read the whole review here, and as always, check out both Hiapop and YIKIS for quality music recommendations.

Yeah I Know It Sucks Retrophonica Review

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

As always, Yeah I Know It Sucks has made my giddy with their track-by-track review of Retrophonica – Aetheric Transmissions. They had this to say about my song “Metro Musix:”

“Things move on into a strange seductive time traveling zone, one in which an old school train rattles over the tracks and the landscape is presumably all made out of electronic memorability. You can hear the birthplace of drone, the early BBC synth basement experimentational vibes, the electric joyfulness of truly re innovating music as it had always existed before.”

ShopLand World Reviewed on Yeah I Know It Sucks

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

Strategic Tape Reserve’s ShopLand World: Music For A Discovery Park Of Miniature Supermarkets is happily still making the rounds, most recently being reviewed by my faves Yeah I Know It Sucks. They had this to say about my contribution, “What Penumbras:”

“First shopping mall I entered was one curated and owned by Elizabeth Joan Kelly. Once in I got the surprising surprise of being tossed into what could only be described as a surreal slide into something named ‘What Penumbras’. A heaven for consumers that likes to buy psychedelic experiences from a jar by mumbling gurus that got themselves deliciously surrounded by smoke and special sound effects. It made me not only feel very enthusiastic, it also gave me a very weird feeling in my stomach; a shopping sensation like this, you simply wouldn’t even expect to happen at a well thought out shop in a chewed up Disneyland theme park… This was the impressive place that once you had found the exit again would have made such a impression that it would simply stay with you for days on end.”

Unusual Capsule on YIKIS

Posted on by elizabethjoankelly in news

Perpetually supportive Yeah I Know It Sucks has reviewed the ENTIRE Prosthion Recording This Machine Confuses Fascists: An ACLU Benefit Compilation, with some blushingly laudatory words for my contribution, “Unusual Capsule:”

“freaking hell, she hitting brilliance again over here, with a full on stereo mindf*ck, wicked beat weirdness, a work of amazeballs quality that feels like it is on a next level while still having that trademark of humanity to it; don’t want to be an ass licking licker but this is absolutely brilliant.”

Thank you as always to YIKIS for their unending support and kindness, and don’t forget to check out the full album: 36 tracks, $5, all for a good cause.
