The post-punk composer/producer Stano who has been making music since the early 80s and the singer-songwriter David Kitt turned analogue synth musician New Jackson have made a five-track EP together.
Going Back To The Unknown is the name of a five-track collaboration from the combined name of SDK.
Released on All City, the EP was the result of a chance meeting of the pair in the record shop, which resulted in collaboration in Kitt’s studio, with Stano providing vocals and Kitt using guitars, pedals, tape delay, and synths to create this ambient dubby body of work that features track titles like the 14-minute ‘Too Long Everything In Dublin’, ‘Towns Being Ripped Apart’, ‘Something Missing’ and Kittser-lead closing track ‘Fireworks’.
“I just turned the pages until the right lyric appeared — I like when the music dictates what the words should be,” says Stano. “There wasn’t a conscious decision, it was just a reaction to what David was playing. It seemed to happen organically, we were really on the same wavelength. At the end of that day I knew we had something really interesting.”
It’s on vinyl and digital via Bandcamp.
