BLACK BACKGROUND: Black Background XXVIII (Reprise) is an excerpt from a live noir exhibition soundtrack NOT EVEN THE ANGELS. The exhibition took place in 2011 and it contains a total of 32 tracks that was written especially for this event. A small selection from this live recording soundtrack will be released by Cooper Cult Records in 2013.

Not Even The Angels: “Pulses of light following a rhythmic and dark soundscapes. The speed of images is slowed down, the pictures are out of focus. Now it’s dark”.

“Cooper Cult label who has a very good sound output (Brother Sun - Sister Moon, Birds of Passage, Felicia Atkinson) goes into high gear in 2013 with the addition to its catalog of the following productions: Love Cult, Pierrot Lunaire, Lee Noble or the excellent Adrian Aniol. Listening to these two sides of the mixtape - the year 2013 promises to be exciting.” - DIVE INTO SUN

“Compiled of excerpts from tracks to be released in 2013, the mixtape titled ‘the sun warms the skins but also burns it too’ exhibits a new sense of direction and purpose for the label. Eleven artists are featured all with a distinctive sound, but agreeably, continuing on with the lineage created through the label’s previous releases. Snoqualmie Falls’ “Red Fire Dark” is a track very much of the Cooper Cult Sound. A morose guitar is plucked through a discourse of ambience, drone and slight vocals. Roof Light’s “Untitled” with its distinct owl sample, also follows suit, however the rest of the mix produces quiet unexpected outcomes.

Most Cooper Cult tracks invoke the imagery of piety and nature, but tracks such as the UK Base sounding “Interested in You” by VVV and in particular Ensemble Economique’s “The Sun Going DOWN (live)” are wholly urbanized. With sound recordings of sirens, horns and a buzzing that mimics car acceleration, you could be forgiven for thinking it was being released on a different label. Further unusual qualities can be found with the schizophrenic but brilliant “Untitled” track from Crippling which leads onto the equally brilliant Midnight Tales – “Hibernate”, whose name perfectly describe the emotions of the track. There is also time for a release from the Russian duo Love Cult, who released “Fingers Crossed” on Public Information LTD last year.

All together this is a hugely satisfying sound, full of immaculate details that necessitate the listener to contemplate. There is also simply an abundance of music to consider, as all the tracks have eccentricity to them. But through some masterly curation the tracks are compellingly bound together with a running narrative that as a collective, makes for a hugely exciting year of releases from Cooper Cult Records.” - No Fear Of Pop

“The flip side opens with a haunting missive from Brother Sun, Sister Moon (responsible for the very first Cooper Cult release) and progresses through a robust selection including the downtempo electronica of Komodo Haunts, and concluding with the jarring, dissonant improv of Pierrot Lunaire. The sun warms the skin, but burns it sometimes too is an impressively diverse and expertly sequenced collection that breathes new life into New Zealand’s legendary underground music scene and offers evidence of a sterling 2013 for the upstart label.” - Ad Hoc

Another tracks from the One Night Session series: In Reverse

One Night Session: Different locations, no clear direction, the instruments, one night.
A project where the music is a result of an experiment.
There’s no overthinking, whatever happens during that one night recording session gets released as something on Soundcloud.
