tKatKa
(pronounced 'Te-Kat-Ker') is the collaboration between artists PJ Norman and
Carlsson, co-founders of 100m Records. The group formed officially in London,
UK, 2004, with their first single appearing on a compilation for the Glass
Shrimp show on Resonance FM in early 2005. Later that year a white label of
their track "Lazerslab" was broadcast by the influential BBC Radio 1
DJ Annie Nightingale, leading to an independent London label deal for their
next two singles. With these
releases, tKatKa garnered radio-play from John Kennedy, James Zabiela and Nick
Luscombe, as well as BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs, who affectionately
characterizes tKatKa's sound as "Absolutely gorgeous".
Soon after, the duo created their own imprint, 100m Records, to release their well received debut album "tKatKa". This was closely followed by sophomore effort, "TerrorKnowledgeAction", featuring a re-interpretation of the Tom Hickox song "Grief Hijackers", of which Bearded Magazine said: "Expect it to soundtrack a spooky art flick, but it won't because it's better than the film would be."
Fittingly, the 10th anniversary of 100m Records this year (2015) sees the release of tKatKa's third long player. Since their second album, the pair have both departed London; Carlsson to Copenhagen and Norman to New York. Despite the distance, they continued to work on compositions towards this third collection remotely, in rare occasions meeting to reconnect and refine. The resulting effort, "Tomorrow Knows Another" is a vast collage of ideas, some originating from their earliest demos and others completed entirely by email.
This distance afforded the luxury of recording samples and performances in a wide variety of locations; the forests of Sweden, the subways of New York, the streets of Copenhagen, warehouses in East London, the Royal Festival Hall, the lake in Zurich and the beach on Long Island. Utilizing this eclectic array of influences and soundscapes, the tracks were then finished, mixed and mastered at the 100m Records studio in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
Tracklist:
1. Dimension Tension (6:07)
2. Itsnotnoitsnot (3:40)
3. Act/React (2:08)
4. NMO (8:06)
5. Youth Mor(t)ality (3:04)
6. Speed Up Slow Down (4:48)
7. Revers Parapsychology (7:20)
8. Attack Or Defend (3:40)
9. Tomorrow Knows Another (2:55)
Total Running Time: 41:44
"Tomorrow Knows Another" is set for release on May 25th, 2015.
