This is the long-awaited debut album from Germany's Xenia Beliayeva. Since her first releases on Anthony Rother's Datapunk label, Xenia Beliayeva developed a certain style that she has now mastered. Her first album on T.Raumschmiere's Shitkatapult sets a landmark in the terrain of today's dance music: cool, dark, electronic. Tracks like "New Day," "Satellite," "Mind Damage" or the title-track "Ever Since" work far beyond the boundaries of club music and reach out to a larger audience. Combined with a futuristic style of love and shadows, Xenia Beliayeva puts this album, produced by mastermind André Winter, in the tradition of dark wave/pop music by the likes of Sisters Of Mercy, Human League, Soft Cell and others. Xenia, born in Moscow, lives in Hamburg nowadays and fits in the actual Shitkatapult roster perfectly alongside a number of electronic music artists that are oriented towards the idea of songwriting -- far more than just making tracks.
