23: 23-Letters
Those of you with an appetite for 1950's leaning dream-pop will be aware that earlier this year we re-released a trio of albums from Delay Trees frontman Rami Vierula issued under his 23:23 moniker. Now officially known as the 23:23 Album Trilogy, the releases from 2012-2104 offered a great insight into Rami's nocturnal activities.
With Delay Trees on a short hiatus a suitable void has been filled. It's with great pleasure that Soliti announces new material from 23:23 in the form of TO DIE ON A FARAWAY ISLAND WITH YOU EP (Soliti 045) to be released early October 2015.
As a first taster from the new EP, we bring you Letters, which find's Rami in duet mode. Ringa Manner (The Hearing, Pintandwefall) provides a suitable foil to Rami's longing for his unanswered letters, "Boy you should listen up now, i don’t want to be mean". A fuzzy guitar noise of longing and sweet interchanges makes Letters all the more involving. Yes, this could be the dream-pop like Nancy & Lee we've been waiting for all our lives.
Letters lyrics
All those letters I sent you always came back to me
Now there’s no room for others in your answering machine It’s full of my ”I miss you’s”
Boy you should listen up now, i don’t want to be mean But i’m keeping the distance so you’re not able to hurt me I’m full of your ”I miss you’s”
Girl I miss you - I’m full of your ”I miss you’s” Girl i need you - I’m full of your ”I need you’s”
