Inner Ear online shop Bandcamp Official Press Release After two albums exploring the dystopian universe of their city in crisis, the Athenian group Mechanimal delve now into the outskirts of their hometown, away from the sociopolitical fragmentation of the Greek capital, inside a deep and prolonged silence of the mountain forests surrounding Athens. “Delta Pi Delta” started with a new lineup, erasing the events of a rather tense and tough past, focusing on nature as a means of escape from the modern depression of urban life. This time with female vocals, featuring lead singer Eleni Tzavara (formerly of Film and Etten), electric guitars by Tassos Nikogiannis and Kostas Matiatos, and electronic programming by Giannis Papaioannou, Mechanimal started recording the backbone of their new album during the spring of 2015, while final editing and mixing took place during August 2015, in an isolated room by some faraway beach. The result of these new recordings is 8 new songs plus 2 instrumentals which will be included as extra tracks in the digital version of the album. Ten new tunes captivating the mystery that lies beneath a quiet life outside a big city. The group’s own hybrid blend of mechanical beats, shoegazing guitar drones and repetitive electronic patterns, shapes now a different perspective that embraces the strangeness and the atmosphere of dreamy landscapes around Athens. The materializing of these silent places into a conceptual sound revealed a new process, which helped the group transform their vision into a tangible medium. The symbolical acronym title “Delta Pi Delta” is referring to the lyric “giving names to stars”. As a whole it represents the existential journey of any two-footed animal. In this journey, dreams reveal desires and fears that we’re not consciously aware of, but play an important part in consciously or subconsciously helping us become better at dealing with life. “Delta Pi Delta” is dedicated to the loving memory of Greek artist and painter Nicholas Liber (1956 – 2013), a long-term friend of the band.

SONG TO THE SIRENS January 14, 2015 by Mechanimal Song To The Sirens Now that clubbing days are over And all your friends are lost You’re praying to the sirens Save you at any cost I’m sorry you’re in pain now I’m sorry it was me That left you in a nightmare Of purple ecstasy Time is the fourth dimension That will ignore our needs A mess of blood and sorrow We are all on our knees Nothing is happening here The schools are empty now Once, how this was a kingdom Now it’s a broken home Nothing is happening here It’s getting pretty late… I’m praying to the sirens I’m seeing through your eyes Look at your glorious lifestyle Oh, how it falls apart!

Ode To Europe January 14, 2015 by Mechanimal Ode To Europe Memories designed to fade Ears dripping sounds of grey Some more real than desire Echo will set us all on fire As the night is full of screams Words like moths beat on the screens All men born with wings that sing Mother Europe trapped in dreams Charming stories, open wounds The muted light of sacred woods One thousand years lost in a glance Midnight drifters of the boulevards Pulsing fragments, inner life Trading time for a smile Silent paths to healing scars Love will die amongst the brightest stars Tiny worlds of memories Whispers hanged on violins Some more real than desire Echo will set us all on fire Sing my verses of youthful crimes On breaking dawns with bitter suns In hidden places such as this Every rebel deserve a kiss So, keep your love for a rainy day When all the flowers will be thirsty again… Lyrics & music: Giannis Papaioannou © Inner Ear Records, 2014 Lyrics, ReleaseAthens, Inner Ear Records, Mechanimal, Ode To Europe, Post-Punk, Secret ScienceShare : Tweet
THE DEN January 14, 2015 by Mechanimal The Den Aerial lineage Parading shapes The flag of the den flies As we all realise Sun / rise and fall / each day We’re eternal children Of a fractal sky Betrayed by socialism And hangover insight Sun / rise and fall / each day If many yesterdays Were dark and heavy Today is drifting rays Keeping the grief away Sun / rise and fall / each day Lyrics & music: Giannis Papaioannou © Inner Ear Records, 2014 Lyrics, ReleaseAthens, Inner Ear Records, Inner Ear Records Mechanimal, Mechanimal, Mechanimal - Secret Science, Secret ScienceShare : Tweet
