2008 release. "Well in the works since late 2007 is the long overdue debut LP of Oakland experimental/noise duo Maleficia which features Ilysea Viles Sunderman on vocals/viola and Andy Way (also of French Radio, NF Orchest, Carrion, Riqis) on electronics. 'Making' and 'Remaking' were recorded at Earhammer Studios in Fall 2007 by Greg Wilkinson (Chronicles of Lemur Mutation, Carrion, Laudanum), and mastered in Winter 2008 by Thomas Dimuzio at Gench Studios in San Francisco. Two side-long tracks, 'Making' and 'Remaking' produce an exquisite and carefully balanced binary system of torrential noise along with beautiful vocals/viola; ultimately the result is an impressive debut record from one of the most original and interesting noise groups to come out of Oakland over the last couple of years. Both Ilysea Viles Sunderman and Andy Way have participated in live collaborations for groups such as inn.aff.(orchext.) -- centered around live improvisation involving members of irr. app. ext., Maleficia and NF Orchest. Maleficia's output until this point has consisted only of an extremely limited CD-R released in 2006, where its caustic and compositional qualities were compared to the likes of Fe-mail and the vocal stylings of Jarboe (Aquarius Records #237).
