EOD 220CD

This is the second volume of work by Norway's Stian Gjevik as EOD. Lovers of Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, Drexciya, Legowelt, or Ceephax will find it easy to relate to this wonderful melodic acid bath. With its foundations in synth pop, Chicago house, Detroit techno, and electric dance, this album brings us a real taste of Scandinavia, rather than the all-too-common Swedish House Mafia. By Stian Gjevik from Norway, who also releases as CN and om 030303, WéMè, etc. This album's duration is 56 mins, speed 102-167 BPM. EOD astonished UK crowds recently at 2012's Bangface Weekender festival, guesting for Rephlex Records. He released Volume 1 in this series early in 2013 to high acclaim, e.g., #1 on Juno's electro chart on its week of release. The artwork of Volume 1 stated that the selection was to be continued and, indeed, here is the last part of the compendium: Volume 2. "My name is Stian and I've been interested in music since I was born. I've been doing electronic music for about 10 years, and these days I'm more compelled than ever to create new tracks and sounds to listen to. Music excites and drives me like nothing else, the feeling of creating something new that I can explore and enjoy is the best there is."

"'I make tracks and that's about it' is what Stian Gjevik, AKA EOD said when asked for a biography. And he does make tracks. The 6 analog/acid/electro pieces on offer here show a balance between technical know how (including knowing when to stop -- there is no messy overproduction here) and acute instinct for detail, brought together by a real enjoyment of the craft of tune-creation. Operating out of Trondheim, Norway, EOD's music has already caught the attention of heavy-hitters, and his first EP, an obscure private-press 12" entitled EAP Tracks sold out extremely quickly. There is footage of Aphex Twin playing his music in a DJ set. Revered acid label 030303 will be releasing a record/album of his later in 2009. Kvist is extremely proud to be releasing this record." -- John Tamm-Buckle 2009
