RELEASE DATE

In 2017, the track "Still Numbers" on
Ekin Fil
's album
Heavy
caught the attention of a certain
Richard D. James
, who under his "user18081971" username reposted the track to his now historic Soundcloud dump. This is also how Ekin's work initially caught the attention of labels; at first listen it sounded like an unearthed
Grouper
demo, a parallel that can be drawn respectfully, seeing Ekin's trademarks are also those forlorn, muffled vocal whispers, layered under sentimental tape loops, paired with ambience and feedback. The album itself was originally produced during what Ekin Fil recalls as a down right depressing and tumultuous time during which she turned to music as a measure of rehabilitation.
Heavy
was later released on tape via Lee Nobles No Kings label in 2016 and re-mastered in 2018 from the tape rips by
Rashad Becker
, preserving the fragile and heavy-hearted auditory sensibility found in the original work, while making one of Ekin's earliest and most personally endearing releases available to a new audience of listeners. Includes download code.
