Lemon Kiss

artist: Big Fat Lips
cat.no: mfm08
release date: 20 December 2008

It’s the simple things that matter. You’ve probably spotted this motto, maybe a bit rephrased, in a ton of ads. Indeed, being able to appreciate simple things in life is a big deal. But what if simplicity is a train you’ve missed, like some of us have? This question fuels my thoughts when I’m listening to Lemon Kiss. The strangest thing is that between the dub atmospherics, intricate sampling work and lush synthlines of this album, the answer to the above question is partially revealed to me. I can’t say it’s a happy one. It feels sad but warm, painful but valuable, fucked up but liberating. Big Fat Lips, with a little help from Sister Overdrive, has given a justification for the melancholy in my thoughts.

“Ένα ιντερνετικό release που κυκλοφορεί από την εταιρία του Eskaei σε mastering του Pridon. Ηλεκτρονικές συνθέσεις του Νίκου Μαρδάκη που περιλαμβάνουν dub ρυθμούς και παράξενα “παλιά” samples σε κομμάτια που θυμίζουν κάτι μεταξύ του μυστηριώδους κόσμου του Caretaker και του Vangeli του Bladerunner. Στο τελευταίο - και πιο ενδιαφέρον - κομμάτι του άλμπουμ το mix είναι του Sister Overdrive” - LIFO
