Volanis, Lefteris -& Dimitris Pagidas-
Outside The Long Walls
This record is the first full collaboration between Lefteris Volanis and Dimitris Pagidas, who, along with Vasilis Dokakis, have formed the trio No Clear Mind over the past 15 years. 'Outside The Long Walls' is a musical creation whose canvas is filled primarily with a mix of electronics and guitar, analog synthesizer sound, saxophone, electric pianos, all bound together with drums, percussion and xylophone, along with intervening soundscapes. Theirs is a deeply melodic work with a strict sonic and timbre aesthetics that reference the new wave and post-punk outsiders, folk, progressive, space rock and world music for past decade interspersed with tributes to the soundtracks of the '60s and '70s European cinema. The band uses both Greek and English lyrics interchangeably since the vocals are simply a means of achieving aural magic. Limited to 500 copies.
