Elko B - Realm Of Rides and Romance - Ekster
Album composed, recorded and mixed by Elko Blijweert. Mastered & cut by Frédéric Altstadt. Original cover artwork painted by Joe Brockerhoff. Album pressed on 180g vinyl, in an edition of 500 copies.
Here we add a new classic chapter to tradition. A
tradition known as the many exotic sounds of Maestro
Elko B. The multi instrumentalist member of bands
like ‘The Horse Head Bed’, ‘The Groovecats Deluxe’,
‘Dino And The Chicks’ and many more has once again
composed a new solo album for Ekster. This fine and
tasty selection of musical pieces vibrate colourful echoes
ranging from blossoming fountains over casino-esque
gambling. Space-cowboys play hide and seek with
childlike innocence in an adult world.
Many of the songs on “Realm of Rides & Romance”
have found its origin in Blijweert’s work as a composer
of soundtracks for theatre, dance performance and
artistic installations. Cinematic reflections providing
EXO “Paradise Moods” by this multitrack one man band.
Recorded from 2017 to 2020, Elko has expressed finding
inspiration in chance, the Sphinx, the casino, the Decap
organ, colonialism, bats and frogs.
