(EN009) TENGGER - Electric Earth Creation (Preview)

Extra Noir Podcast

In Spring 2021, Seoul-based label Extra Noir will make Tengger’s first EP, Electric Earth Creation, available on vinyl for the first time. Previously limited to a small run of CDs sold only in Korea, this 5-song 2013 collection reveals the genesis of what would become Tengger’s signature sound: hypnotic synths, spectral vocals, rhythmic propulsion and nature motifs. Electric Earth Creation, however, presents a harder, less ethereal and more danceable version of the band. The EP was produced on Korea’s Jeju island, after the birth of Marqido (synthesizers and programming) and Itta’s (vocals) son Raai, and the dissolution of their previous musical project, 10. Conceived in response to the house-bound isolation of becoming new parents and the wild nature that surrounded them outside, the songs of Electric Earth Creation feel like rituals to summon and celebrate Earth’s primordial forces. Available on limited editions vinyl (300 copies). Pre-sales start Feb. 5. https://extranoir.bandcamp.com/music
