----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aka Bondage, Black Sifichi & Somekilos, the musicians of [1] Kilo of Black Bondage were united for the first time in 2003 during the I.D.E.A.L Festival at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes, France.

Then, moving from stage to stage in France and Europe, they enriched and cultivated an original musical material made from evolving textures, sonic landscapes – more so than songs – that borrow from rock, dub, hip-hop and electronica, responding to the texts which are dark as they are precious. Released on Ronda & Wallace records, this album is the crystallisation of this musical evolution.

The album ‘Fear The Windows' was recorded, mixed and produced by Norscq (The Grief / Colder / Von Magnet) between 2004 & 2005. Lori-schoen-Berg, member of Berg Sans Nipple plays trumpet on several tracks on the album.

Reviews

D-SIDE n°30 sept-oct05 (France) : "…Et ce n'est pas un kilo que pèse ‘Fear the windows’, mais une tonne ! Une tonne d'angoisse, de névroses, de passion criminelles et de drames mis en évidence par une orchestration luxuriante, puissante, que l'on pourrait rapprocher des instants les plus sombres de Recoil ou Manoxeria, et par un choix de samples aussi inspiré que glaçant…"

WEBZINENAMELESS : sept05 (France).. : "…Et question électron libre, les gaillards savent y faire. Ce ‘Fear the windows’ sonne comme pas grand chose d’autre tout en traçant pourtant des sillons profondément abyssaux dans lesquels risquent de s'engouffrer une bonne paire d'autres groupes…" USCITA DI SICCUREZA sept05 (Italie) : "…[1] Kilo of Black Bondage, resta un gruppo stupefacente e energico di cui non posso che consigliarvi l'ascolto, un lavoro come pochi…"

UNDOMONDO sept05 (Turkey) : "...The music lumbers on with increasing tension, and around the first minute, samples off a possible movie dialogue enter, completing the haunting feeling. The texture work is great here and if you like Badalamenti stuff, you'll like it a lot..."

VACARME sept05 (France) : "…Le trio nous dévoile un album riche dont la cohérence, qui ne tient qu'à un fil, est une parfaite réussite".

CHAIN D.L.K. sept 05 (UK) : "...’Fear the windows’ also reminds me of some of the Sub Rosa's releases at their best..."

INFRATUNES sept05 (France) : "…On tient ici neuf contes de la folie ordinaire, neuf morceaux se donnant comme des écrins sonores pour les contes cruels de Black Sifichi…attirant par sa violence et les tensions qu'il sait ménager, singulier, personnel et complexe aussi. Et donc recommandé…" WRECK THIS MESS sept05 (Netherlands) : "...Deep dark collaboration of sombre dub and Black Sifichi's unique vocals and poetic texts that remind one of a combo of John Giorno, Paul Bowles and Ken Nordine".
