1991’s gorgeous 2012 debut will arrive on vinyl later this month.
Astro:Dynamics have continually impressed in the last 18 months, picking up releases from lush Young Echo outfit Jabu, pretty electronica producer Lotide, and, on the exceptional from-the-vaults collection Excavated Tapes 1992 – 1999, Best Available Technology. Still lingering in the memory, however, is Axel Backman’s splendid debut EP as 1991, released last September as a download-only release. In contrast to the splenetic techno of Backman’s MCMXCI work, 1991 was an involving collection of frazzled electronica and dreamy ambient, tailormade for fans of Actress’ R.I.P or the Spectrum Spools catalogue.
A new 1991 EP is in the works for the label, but, for now, Astro:Dynamics are giving the EP a second crack of the whip. As Juno Plus report, 1991 will get its maiden vinyl release in a fortnight. The new edition will arrive on limited transparent blue vinyl, and, as per the original, will feature seven originals and a supplementary remix.
1991 is due on 12″ on July 15. The day before the reissue drops, Backman will play his first UK show at London’s redoubtable Cafe OTO. He’ll be joined by Lukid side gig Arclight; head here for further information and tickets. Click below to stream the EP.
