Sometimes things sound pretty simple. In an interview with NTS, Mikael Seifu described himself briefly and succinctly as “accepting being an electronic musician and exploring life through that lens.” The music on his first proper releases for Washington DC-based label 1432 r in 2014 wasn’t simple at all and received some healthy attention. With the announcement of this Zelalem EP for RVNG Intl., the producer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has gained even more momentum.

RVNG Intl. has found in Kerry Leimer the gift that keeps on giving, and they’re not quite done with him yet. After the critically acclaimed release of the K. Leimer retrospective A Period of Review last year, here comes the artist’s less fluttery, less romantic production, less Music for Films, or indeed Airports, and more My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The Eno comparisons seem to continuously abound in what regards the man’s work, but this LP is actually more controlled, much cleaner and less epic than that particular Eno / Byrne collaboration. In fact despite Leimer’s fame as king of Seattle underground ambient, it’s probably the jittery American neuroticism that Byrne brought to that album which resonates most powerfully in Leimer’s work as Savant.
The West Coast artist’s involvement in the 1980s group is documented on the forthcoming Artificial Dance retrospective.
