Record label Afterhours together with an internet indie-radio kohviradio.com is releasing an improved re-press of Pastacas’ debut album „Kõrvaklapid“.
The album „Kõrvaklapid“ by Estonia’s Pastacas aka Ramo Teder was firstly released exactly ten years ago as a fifth release of Kohvirecords. It was quickly sold out and managed to get distribution only in Estonia and Ireland. Its re-press a decade later is directed foremost to Japanese market and released in friendly co-operation between Tokyo’s record label Afterhours and Estonian internet-radio kohviradio.com. Album is re-mastered and there are two bonus-songs added, both from the time of original issue, one of which – „Kodukino“ (“Home Cinema” – eng.) – is previously unreleased. This album from ten years ago differs remarkably from Teder’s sound today. If he is presently playing a kind of psychedelic urban folk, using the looper to multiply sounds performed on flute and mandolin (among other instruments), his sound from a decade back was essentially more towards analogue-electronica, floating somewhere on borderlines between jazz, bossa nova and ambient, and being also influenced by hay days of drum’n bass and the then main acts of legendary Warp-label. However, his debut album may be characterized using the style invention created by the author himself – „nerd-punk à la blackberry on a hard drive“ (NBHD), a genre well-known to all Pastacas’ fans of today.
All tracks are composed and mastered by Ramo Teder

“Kõrvaklapid” is no classic, but it’s highly recommended to the adventurous, especially those of you who can enjoy the odd Albion folk song or some mild (and preferably privately-pressed) early seventies progadelia!“

„This is a fun album – strongly crafted, craftily instrumented and well produced – and often we do just want music to enjoy, to make us move and to hum along with.“
