Dj Sundae Presents : Nothing Ever Was - Vinyle

Description

DJ Sundae, the undisputed master of selection, returns to Efficient Space with Nothing Ever Was, an impeccable collection of independent and ghostly melancholy, drawing inspiration from 60s/70s village folk, underground shoegaze, and domestic pop from the new millennium. Each track is a true catharsis, breathing new life into music that was almost nonexistent in its time, created in secret and in the most intimate corners, and shared only with a small number of insiders via private pressings, amateur labels, and now-forgotten CD-Rs. Freed from any era, continent, scene, or rarity, handcrafted 2000s indie pop opens both sides with the 4-track gems by The Motifs and Betelmire, atypical contemporaries. The rest of the selection moves between the United Kingdom and the United States. A deeper and more personal exploration of the sentimental writing of Sky Girl, Sundae has amassed a collection of tracks too striking to remain confined to his anonymous mixtapes for TTT, P.A.M. and Good Morning Tapes, or to his biweekly show on NTS Radio. Once again, his emotional magic brings together an improbable cast, whose unfinished story is woven from fragments of memories of past lives, left behind by future horse trainers, ketamine therapists and Beatles cover musicians. Not a second was wasted on this vinyl record; it took a whole team to bring this new release to life, with the meticulous audio restoration of David Bergot, the dreamlike images of Matthieu Crozier, the elegant design of Ivan Liechti and an insightful foreword by Jessica Pratt, the project’s soulmate.
