Violet Rechord - Zhopa (Monotony and Repetition) collaboration with Andreas Tilliander www.earlabs.org Zeromoon's record manager Jeffrey Surak aka Violet and Rechord together come up with a 3" featuring no less than six tracks. Those excellent compositions range from the mechanical and occult tracks Blossoms Decay and Return to pieced featuring organic dark earthquake-like dronescapes (for instance the title track). This co-operation resulted in a superb release which could have had the full-length format. repeatle.com (from Phosphur Magazine)

Violet - "Electrolux" nexsound.org "Electrolux's three tracks, each between about 14 and 17 minutes in length, are eminently recommendable: long stretches of free-form, song-less, sounds-for-sounds'-sakeness - not so much a swarm of drones as a care package of industrial ambience. Now, a lot of modern electronic music gets described offhandedly as next-generation campfire tunes, given the homespun quality that so much laptop-derived work exudes - not to mention the general electronica emphasis on musical rudiments like beats, and the popularity these days of sampled acoustic guitar - but so much of Electrolux (which lacks beats and guitar) truly sounds like spare parts left out in the open, if not to burn then at least to rust. Hence the Violet EP's fibrous sonics, numb chimes, bent metal, chilling distant hums and, on the opening track, moan of a wounded beast." - disquiet
