Electric Funeral Cafe (Compilation)


Ladies and Gentlemen!
Robustfellow Prods./Iron Hamster recs./Aorte recs. present a compilation of robust Ukrainian bands under the name "Electric Funeral Cafe".

The idea and the name came from Andrei Batura (Imbecil Entertainment), who decided to resurrect his long-standing sub-label Iron hamster records (Mozergush "S/t" CD 2008).
Partly the compilation name throws 10 years back, when one could find a collage-cover "Goregrind Cafe" in music stores.

Robustfellow Prods. (PhillO))) got the idea right away, especially since thoughts of a similar work have been coming to Robustcrew for a long time.

We started to gather exclusive materials in caves, dungeons, steppes and mountains of Ukraine. Many bands did the impossible: recorded, mixed and mastered exclusive tracks within a short period of time especially for "Electric Funeral Cafe". Some band found outtakes, b-sides and old material never released before. Others were kind enough to share tracks from their forthcoming albums.
The compilation has also secured some place for two great bands, which probably won’t play again in the nearest future (Thank You, Iceland!, Rita Topless).

No wonder that one CD wasn’t enough to fit all the great contributions. That’s why we’ve decided to divide it into two theatrical sides: Electric & Funeral Sides.

Tracks of those bands, which we weren’t able to fit on the two CDs, will be made available as bonus tracks on bandcamp and vk later.

"Electric Funeral Cafe" showcases the situation in the Ukrainian Psychedelic/Stoner/Sludge/Kraut/Shoegaze underground as of the beginning of 2015.

22 robust bands on 2 CDs in a wonderful 6 panel digipack.
500 pressed.

Luxury Edition by Robustfellow Prods. – 33 copies (details will follow soon).

Peace.Love.Heaviness.
