Damirah
Light And Guns And Fire
Joe Records proudly presents, for the first time on vinyl, a great album from the Greek band Damirah. Five years after its release on CD, 'Lights And Guns And Fire' is re-released on 300 pieces of 180gr vinyl, hand-numbered, with new analog mastering. The musical direction of 'Lights And Guns And Fire' lies in a constant dynamic of flare-ups, rhythmic shifts, a "Mediterranean character" post-rock narrative of a group of musicians who with honesty and passion tried to leave their own mark on the modern sound of the city. 'Lights And Guns And Fire' includes 6 instrumental tracks, that contain samples (as in 'Dotted Bright Lights') from recorded conversations of members of the Peoples Temple, a religious sect known for Jonestown massacre. The "fairy tale" heard in the track and the background behind it, is a chilling combination of innocence, violence and brainwashing. At the same time, in the track 'As A Child, I Always Dreamed Of Fire,' we find a shocking narration by Stella Magganas in verses from the poetry collection 'Antartiko2' by Dimitris Gioulos and Konstantinos Papaprilis-Panatsas.
