  Magnet EP by Magnitophono 

read some reviews :


After some collaborations where she allowed Bartosz Dziadosz aka Pleq to play in her nursery rooms and read her tale books and after ideally giving life to Pierrot-like mannequins, the Greek dadaist musicians Eleni Adamopoulou aka Manekinekod, aka Magnitophono (not to be confused with the historical art-rock Birmingham-based band Magnetophone), winds the spring motor up again by rotating the ratchet lever of her musical boxes fastened on her imagination. Issued by the Scottish label Bearsuit, her new musical reveries sound more than everclose to the whimsical glitch-tronic freaks of some Japanese well-known contemporary musicians such as Takagi Masakatsu or Nobukazu Takemura (in particular in the two initial tracks Pet and Ninjeto as well as in the nice Down To Earth, whereas if you follow the imaginative path of the lyrics, your mind can draw some new lovely tamagotchi landed from some heavenly realm!) and partially some whimsical pieces of Icelandic music such as Amiina or Mum. A magneticly sweet and somewhat melancholic daydream, whose tonal shilly-shallying is going to entrance into a delicate childplay-like enchanted world.

Sometimes, like when listening to music such as found on this EP by Magnitophono, I think there is a wilful obscurity at work. Barring the scant details on the press release (she is Greek, it would seem), there is little in terms of knowledge to be acquired on the subject of Magnitophono. 

Although this EP starts in that standard bedsit electronica kind of way beloved of so many of its urban practitioners, a stylistic improvement is soon to be had and the last three tracks show much more personality with “Little Boy Blue” being a different kettle of fish entirely as chopped  vocal samples launch an attack from behind the synthetic percussion at the half way mark and turn the song into something reminiscent of a fragmented fairytale. “Down To Earth” also turns in a surprise or two suggesting, as it does, balancing real love against the recorded devotion of a talking doll. Likewise, “To Yourself” follows a similar path only this time sounding more like Bjork on a downer than anything else.

As you might expect, Magnitophono’s music comes across much better on your itsy bitsy headphones than it does on speakers but that’s horses for courses, I suppose. Looked at as a whole, this EP is a very respectable example of its genre.
