Two gentlemen and two graces that conjure up the spirits of our musical heritage and dress them in robes of floating sound and distorted noise. Elements from classical, blues, jazz, rock and psychedelia merge into a cinematic atmosphere, which Mika Bajinski's sonorous voice carries through her stories. An uncompromising vision, that promises something sacred and glides on a fine network of male and female expression, past and future, accessibility and experimental outburst, light and dark. So how does it sound? Folks in the office came up with: Sounds like NICO and LANA DEL REY meeting in a Pop Drone heaven with the MORRICONE Orchestra as a backing band. SWOs first LP will be released under the title NOUS on GRAND CHESS with guest musician Larry Mullins a.k.a. Toby Dammit (of Iggy and The Stooges & Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fame) on drums and percussion, recorded live under the direction of Ingo Krauss. NOUS is the initial release on the newly found art-label GRAND CHESS. It comes as a 180 gram audiophile vinyl release in a de-luxe 350 gram gatefold Cover with artwork by James ?Gallon Drunk? Johnston. Complete views of the artworks are included as high quality photo prints.
