Description: Blake/e/e/e (pronounced "Blake-ie") line up includes members of Franklin Delano, and you can sure hear it. Their debut full lenght, titled Border Radio, is nothing but explosive. Dressed in a folky salsa, it keeps turning into something different all along its lenght. From the weird dub intro - a condensed reprise of well two tracks to come - to house folk celestial drones, from Sixties candies and psychedelic space ballads to post-punk creepy anthems, from world ethnic spirituals to alt. country filled with drones and bones, and then: Beach Boys go to church and the church becomes a mutant disco, astral instrumentals and howlings to the shooting star. Border Radio is what happens when your dreams have become too beautiful for your head and transfom into something tangible. It captures the urgency to make sense out of the pet sounds our individual microcosms create. Blake/e/e/e appear to have their own theogony: a new and brave world, waiting to be explored, a self-produced kaleidoscope of new musical ideas that make Border Radio at the same time very tasteful and weirdly experimental.
