XAJ3Z (CLEAR SMOKE VINYL) [VINYL]

SoiSong is the bright, stunning, and short-lived project conceived in 2007 by Ivan Pavlov (CoH) and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (of Coil). The duo combined Pavlov's uncompromisingly visceral digital aesthetics with Sleazy's decadent, dark and whimsical approach to creation. Primarily located on the Eastern Pacific Rim, the two named the project after the Thai word for 'two' (song), as well as the seedy red-light quarters ('gloomy Soi's, or alley-ways') of Bangkok. Together, they developed a unique, elegant, yet rather cryptical musical language. SoiSong's debut full-length 'xAj3z' is a digital reference to jazz: seemingly acoustic, effervescent, boundary-breaking, digital-era entertainment where light rays and tropical heat are backed up by zeroes and ones.
