Oh honey pie, form shadows, and tell, tales of the desert, looks so hot, these children moving in the night. So sorry, a five letter word, and, guilty feelings, can't come back, waiting for a love completely. Lost my way, held me down, I am, a new beginning, oh lucky me when I leave no one to wave goodbye. Oh, the poor girl with no regrets sweet hearts turn cold

Here, for you, it lives in me, to be set free. As sparks explode, with delight, to be set free. Such sweet pain, burns inside, to be set free. The lights go on, the lights go off.

about

Originally released in May 2007 on The Republic Of Desire Recordings now re-released on Passarella Records, below is the original press release for the 'Ima / Blackout' EP.

Better known as one of London's top cult clothing designers, Passarella Death Squad's music is the result of a diverse combination of influences such as PiL, The Velvet Underground and Cocteau Twins mixed with contemporary electronica such as LFO, DJ Hell and the work of label boss and ex-Micronaut, Issakidis.

Such a range of influence combined with the amazing skills of Death In Vegas man Tim Holmes has resulted in a hugely individual sound for this double a-side release of "Ima"/"Blackout".

Based around pounding, live kick drums and a pulsing orchestral stab, "Ima" showcases French vocalist Emilie Albisser's drawling style beautifully. The epic, touching vocals are the perfect juxtaposition to the austere production which makes for a seriously addictive track.

A similar, stripped back approach to the production is applied to "Blackout" but a dubbier style is adopted, with a slower groove and warmer sounds creating a much mellower feel but with equally impressive and thought provoking results.

Remixes on the package have been provided by oddball night owl producer Midnight Mike and Mute Records darlings Motor. The former's low-tempo electro take on "Ima" blends electro-pop and disco vibes in fine style while the latter's industrial, driving techno version of "Blackout" rounds of this release wonderfully by creating something faithful to the original, but for the dancefloor.

With a live act being prepared for late 2008, and an another amazing inaugural EP engineered again by Tim Holmes, it’s no wonder Passarella Death Squad are enjoying support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Tiga, Trevor Jackson and Ivan Smagghe. The hype machine finally has an act worthy of it’s mechanics……..
