  • Bio

    .. An independent record label based in Bristol. .. .. ....Kill Crow.... is proud to announce that its first release is ....North Sea Navigator's.... second album ..Among The Dead City... This is a split-release with ....Brain-Gel..... .... KILLCROW001/BRAIN-GEL006 .... .. .. ......CD OUT NOW ON KILL CROW/BRAIN-GEL RECORDS...... .... ...... .. .. ..£10 INC. P&P.. .. ..Limited edition 11-track audio CD housed in letterpress-printed recycled chipboard arigato pak from ..Stumptown Printers..... .. ...... .. ..Digital download available now via ....iTunes..... .. .. .......... ..CD and MP3 download available now via ....CD Baby....... .. ...... ..CD available now via ....Norman Records..... .. .... .. .... ......North Sea Navigator’s nightmarish, elegiac collage Among The Dead City pieces together the soundtracks of lives half-heard from the other side of the wall.... .. This incredibly detailed record crafted over two years is an arresting mix of hauntingly beautiful acoustic songs, darkly atmospheric instrumentals and found fragments of audio, all seen through the death mask of a Soviet satellite state... .. When the Berlin Wall fell on 9 November 1989, panicked Stasi agents spent three months covertly shredding 
45 million documents that detailed the lives of the six million people they spied on. When the shredding machines broke down under the weight of the task, agents had to resort to doing it manually. ..Puzzle Women.. tells the story of a team of 30 workers who have been painstakingly piecing together an average of 10 documents a day since 1991, using tape and tweezers, to stitch back the fragments of lost lives... .. Two Bristol musicians, ..Paul Nash.. (..North Sea Navigator..) and ..Neil Johnson.. (..Angel Tech..), were inspired to capture the terror of administration and the insidious spectre of surveillance on record. The result of this collaboration, which chillingly heralds the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, is an uncompromising soundscape of dark NSN drone and brittle Angel Tech glitch, at once bleak but as beautiful in its widescreen scope perhaps as Berlin-era Bowie... .. It is difficult to pin down the sound of ..Among The Dead City... If you defined this album as drone, concrete, electro-acoustic, folk or soundtrack, you’d be missing its unique essence. The two acoustic guitars and voices of Nash and Johnson are only one half of a compelling story that pieces together the soundtracks of lives half-heard from the other side of the wall. Turn out the lights, close your eyes and be very afraid... ....Among The Dead City.... photography by Kratski. Promo photography by ..Shark-Finn..... .. ..ABOUT ..NORTH SEA NAVIGATOR.... .. .. ..Paul Nash.. gravitated to Bristol in 2003 to join WARP-signing ..Gravenhurst.. and to form ..North Sea Navigator... Leaving Gravenhurst to concentrate on his own project, Nash expanded NSN to a live 3-piece with Charlotte Nicholls (..Crippled Black Phoenix..) and Tim Atack (..Angel Tech..), subsequently self-releasing ..Alibis.... EP and “stunning debut album” (..Rock Sound..) ..Make The Blacklist... Expanding to a live 4-piece with Neil Johnson (..Angel Tech..), NSN has toured with ..Rose Kemp... Nash has since collaborated with Kemp on the track ....Edward.... (..Silber Records..). Currently in production is the third NSN album, ..Lights In Darkest England.., which was recorded as a 4-piece band and is set for a release on ..Kill Crow.. later in 2010. ....
