Nostalgia / Pain

ELIZABETH ANKA VAJAGIC follows up last year's debut full length 'Stand With The Stillness' with two long form incantations channeled through the full range of her blistering, astoundingly intimate voice. As the title suggests, Vajagic cuts deep into a couple of timeless themes, with both title pieces featuring extended instrumental and noise passages, revealing the spacious, searching ears of her improv steeped band, The EP closes with a 4-track home recording done in the dead of 2004's winter, These are chilling vocal lamentations framed by sometimes ghostly, sometimes galloping sonic textures from musicians who've played in MOLASSES, SHALABI EFFECT and VOIVOD, among other bands, From quivering falsetto to guttural glissando, Vajagic's voice gets a complete workout on these long, immersive songs. A pure, direct and unflinching emotional document that completes the song cycle begun with 'Stillness...' and will wring the hearts of fans and newcomers alike
