Kokum – Impressions of Environment (Baba Vanga, 2015)

Kokum’s sound harks back to those times in musical history that cherished the primordial and the raw. A ritualistic narrative inspired by his interest in “primitive ancient things” and his search for what is irredeemably lost.

Kokum/SZO – Splt (Farbwechsel, 2014)

SFA005 – Zelený Antoin

Recorded at our Easterndaze event in Brno in 2011, and in summer 2013 at Bratislava’s FUGA, a psychedelic, post-punky noise-driven journey into disquieting sonic realms, is now being released as a free download by the Czech netlabel Signals from Arkaim.
