Following the release of their 2012 debut, Perla EP, Kodacrome’s
forthcoming LP Aftermaths continues to raise the temperature
and heighten theatrics by exploring the space between the words and the
notes that carry a story. Drawing inspiration from both, Ryan’s production
merits (Pilot Balloon, Anti-Pop Consortium), and Elissa’s background
as a classically-trained pianist, Aftermaths combines strong bass
lines and visceral beats with ominous lyricism reflecting a lush picture of a
calm place after a storm.
Appealing to a growing generation of music fans that are
attracted to dystopian sounding synth-pop, Aftermaths is a
haunting collection of engaging gems bound to have a memorable translation on
the dance floor. Aftermaths are a dark, glittering
web of intricately layered swells and lead lines that gradually conjures into a
spellbinding haze. Through Kodacrome's simplistic yet looming production, there
is a noticeably shared love for melodic composition that aims to strike a
balance between songwriting and synthesis.
“I obsess about
the tone of an oscillator the way she does about a melody. It's like she is
writing a script and starring in it, and I'm the cinematographer.” - Ryan

Emerging from the depths of Melbourne’s club scene
comes Luke Neher with
his reworking of Kodacrome’s glimmering-electro track, “Strike The Gold.”
Emmy nominated music composer and acclaimed music
supervisor, Chris Child aka Kodomo, remixed fellow Brooklynites,
track “Buggy Bumper”. Kodomo
takes this originally stark track and reshapes it into a chattering collection
of synthetic micro-sounds reforming singer, Elissa LeCoque’s haunting vocals
into a pulsing and ghostly accent to his swirling click and cut-style
production work.
