Alkisah Suprise:
Inspired by the stories of Alkisah, artist Lizi Hoar presents to you the elements necessary for a ceremony of rebirth and restoration.
Sheathed in a printed lino sack, you will find treasures from our lands to aid in an awakening after a destruction. Find soil dug from the cleft of Avon Gorge, kissed by the rhapsodic tides of the river herself, to hand painted slate unearthed from the Avonmouth docklands.
Each tape contains an accompanying poem for your ritual, please use when the shadows are long and the wind is singing in the east.
Twenty of these kits will be distributed at random throughout cassette orders at no extra cost.
Includes unlimited streaming of Alkisah / Once Upon a Time in Avon
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Alkisah suatu negeri
Berbagi dunia dengan kita kini
Satu sama lain menyahut “saudaraku”
Satu sama lain menyebut “dosamu, masa lalu”
Tanah kering menjadi hijau merdu
Berpupuk kasih dan sabar akan waktu
Menjelma duka dan amarah menjadi petuah
Menulari mereka yang terjangkit luka yang sama
Orang-orang tua dilindungi
Ilmu, riwayat, dan segala warisannya
Anak-anak muda diberkati
Nurani, badan, akal, segala tindakannya
Menghormati hujan dan matahari
Memberi arti tiap nyawa tanpa kecuali
Alkisah, seindah itu suatu negeri
Berbeda meski berbagi dunia dengan kita kini
Meski negeri itu sudah tak ada lagi
Dibantai tamak dibakar benci
Terusir hina dari tanahnya sendiri
Oleh segala kerendahan hati
Yang ditafsirkan berarti kelemahan diri
Karena meremehkan mereka
Yang tak peduli akan hujan dan matahari
It was a bit too much and samey by the end for me, but if you like dark atmospheres, if you are really interested in sound design or you enjoy the challenge of music that tries to wear you down, you should definitely check this record out.
I loved the echo-drenched drums and percussion and synths and hard to describe sounds on this, but it stays with the same sonic ideas for too long for me to enjoy to try to withstand the harsh wall of sounds minisculebarber
The Doom Trip label never misses, and the latest LP from the genius Heejin Jang is a trip into thrilling industrial terror. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2023
only now present a magnificent suite of sonic disorientation - alongside some passages of sheer beauty, here we find ragas twisted into weapons while dogs sit on shoulders barking orders and tablas summon to war
as fierce and militant as the label's underlying ethos, BKV dips into it's dark side once again and we're all the better for it
buy tape, press play - this one blew my fucking head off JC
