Digipack CD, ltd. 300 hand numbered copies; MP3, VBR 160-224 kb/s + album artwork. ___ :::ABOUT THE PROJECT::: Girnų Giesmės (Girnu Giesmes; GG; Songs of the Millstones) Real Name: Laurynas Jukonis Profile: Project Girnu Giesmes was born in 1996 – Laurynas Jukonis, who had experimented with several underground bands in Vilnius [Lithuania] before, determined to start his own project. Album 'Kerai' (Spell), recorded the same year and released by Dangus in MC format, became a pleasant surprise and fresh wind in the modest scene of Lithuanian weird music. In 1997 a cassette '8 Nerimo Veidrodžiai' (8 Mirrors of Anxiety) was released by the author himself, it lacked proper sound quality, therefore was distributed only in the circle of friends (currently this work with improved sound is being distributed in CDr format). The next year MC 'Juodi Vasaros Trimitai' (Black Trumpets of Summer) was released, then – MC 'Breksta' (Breaking Dawn) followed in 2000. The first G.G. work in CD format delighted the audience in 2001 – album 'S:S:S:S' was released by Dangus. 2003 'Procesai' the most uncompromising album was released. During the latter seven years Girnu Giesmes played live on several notable festivals of darkwave arts – Menuo Juodaragis, Kunigunda Lunaria, Sumirimas, Nordic Audio Modern fest., Wroclaw Industrial Festival [Pl], clubs in Latvia, supported Legendary Pink Dots in Vilnius, and etc. Girnų Giesmės (Songs of the Millstones) is a perfect name for a post-industrial experimental act that sounds fairly cold and harsh, yet hints at archaic roots. The characteristic sound of Girnų Giesmės, the project of Laurynas Jukonis, indeed resembles that of a millstone in a way; the textural formations are repetitive, coarse and shadowy, but the source is organic and primeval. Having entered the Lithuanian dark electronic music scene back in 1995, Girnų Giesmės was very fertile in the subsequent years and managed to create a musical cosmology of its own kind. The latter borrows its primary language from dark industrial music, but is full of archaic symbols, rusted primitive soundscapes and psychedelic tonalities. That’s what makes the music of Girnų Giesmės affect the listener almost on the subconscious level – where the blurred memories of the prehistoric past are buried. Text: by Jurij Dobriakov ___ ABOUT THE ALBUM "Sau Kraštas" ('Oneself Land') - cold and ascetic world, where the ships, which formerly drifted the thoughts through mountains of waves into archipelago of dreams, now is standing in the dunes of desert - deeply stucked in the sand. Its not the first morning the ships meets the dawn like that. "Sau Kraštas" is the latest album of the project Girnų Giesmės ('Songs of the Millstones'). There are 5 compositions of 2008-2009 in this professionaly self releaced CD. The picture by technique of "camera obscura" were chosen for artwork. Such photographies reject everything what are unimportant - all distracting details are eliminated and only steady nuggets are left. The same matter suits the sound of "Sau Kraštas". Comming deeper and deeper into yourself, climbing the stairs of existence until reaching the space for nobody else, but you. The space, where burnt-out pharos is not any more waiting for the ships arriving. Text: by Eteris Trcklist: 1.2 Brandinta Kupole (Nurtured Kupolė*) 3. Slėpta po Velėna (Hidden Under Sod) 4.5 Rasta Bundant (Founded While Waking Up) Duration: 40:01 * Kupole - an attribute of pagan Baltic religion used in the archaic rites of summer solstice. It`s usualy a bunch of selected herbs caried and treated in some ritually order. ___ LOG: Ripper : D2H Army Genre : Industrial/Ambient Supplier : D2H Army Release Date : 23-09-2009 Source : CDDA Year : 2009 Type : Promo Tracks : 05 Encoder : Lame 3.97 Quality : VBRkbps/44.1kHz/Joint-Stereo Label : n/a Catalog # : n/a 01 Brandinta Kupole 1 (08:59) 02 Brandinta Kupole 2 (10:39) 03 Slepta Po Velena (06:03) 04 Rasta Bundant 1 (07:25) 05 Rasta Bundant 2 (06:58) ------------- TOTALS : 48,5 MB / 40:04 min This is newest Girnu Giesmes album with 5 tracks recorded during 2008-2009.
