(PHR-84) BETTY LOOP LOOP / ΑΓΓΕΛΟΣ ΚΥΡΙΟΥ / ΚΤΙΡΙΑ ΤΗ ΝΥΧΤΑ Split 2xCS


















This double cassette set surely is an original early 10's Athens' artefact. Two solo projects, Angelos Kyriou & Ktiria ti Nyxta (Buildings at Night), completely diffrent from what we've heard till the negative urban space has thrown them up, they redefined music with greek lyrics. Angelos' side offers a typical example of his spastic, obsessed, sincere miniature song-marathon collage while Ktiria delivers a thunderstorm cut-up of -sometimes bootleg- recordings of friends' conversations blended w/ the signature hi-pitch electronic mayhem. The two 5-minute sides sound like a dream radio station. The one we've all wished to exist, the one we're pretty sure will never happen.
Betty Loop Loop takes all over the second 36-minute tape and all of her gig highlights are present with further more self-exploration / experimentation. She's nothing more than the two above mentioned guys together. Literally. She's more than just beautiful...
Released in a double cassette jewel case w/ full color artwork and tape labels. Edition of 80 copies.

Below is some Betty Loop Loop action at ElCulture rooftop, downtown Athens, May 2011:
