Presenting Blackwater, a duo of geographical drifters whose outernational grooves draw on sounds snatched from their travels.

A-side Istanbul began as a recording snared while hanging out a speeding taxi. Somewhere between Karaköy and Beyoğlu; the push of rain and traffic mixing with blared advertisements.

B-side Woodstock builds around chimes sourced from the snowy hinterlands of Upstate New York. Melancholic melodies rubbing against hand drums; gradually unravelling. A deep and dubby finish with the spirit of Wareika Hill. Patterns of ritualistic Haiti.

The release was mastered for vinyl by Pole @ scape studios and comes lovingly hand-packaged with an opaque insert and individually numbered photographs taken by the duo in either Woodstock or Istanbul.

Best played at 45rpm

As always Klaus delivers some deep downtempo Dubstep infused wickedness that spellbinds me as a listener and as usual i do my shopping because this is exactly the kind of record i need to have in my little record collection. A must have. Finn of Tomland

I listen to this album every time I feel under the weather, or a total failure, as it reminds me of the mysterious complexity of life — right after it ends, I am friends with despair and move beyond it. blume
