Kiku Parlor, The SKU: LPFIVEK001 Barcode: 0814867026505 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fivekill Records Released Date: 20th April 2018 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Multi-instrumentalist producer-songwriters Jen OConnor and Eric Krans are fearless in their willingness to explore new sound palettes for their intimate brand of art-pop. Throughout their progression from indie- folk, to stomp and clap trancefolk, to campfire disco -as Pitchfork described their previous release, Wahzu Wahzu -The Parlor continues to experiment with new instrumentation and blend their set of genre and stylistic songwriting influences. Kiku is their first foray into triggered samples and orchestral synth soundscaping. Kiku is also a deeply personal concept record for The Parlor. Kiku, the Japanese word for chrysanthemum, began blooming in Krans and O’Connors farmhouse garden immediately following their second miscarriage, and so became a symbol of their grief, despair, resilience and faith. “Kiku grew into something we never anticipated. What started only as vague sounds or plucked songs, grew unexpectedly into a kind of synth-folk chamber-pop. As the albums final song fades off into the ether, Kiku comes into focus as a diary of one couple’s private and lonely struggle with multiple miscarriage, and their determination not to allow the associated stigmas to silence them. Kiku is more timely than ever in the era of the #metoo movement, with women across the world bearing their scars -some from assault, others, such as the women involved in the #ihadamiscarriage campaign, their reproductive trauma. Each battle cry expresses the silent pain of what it means to be a woman. Each acknowledgement exposes previously unspoken truths. Each painful, personal admission helping to bring society one step closer to removing the shame, stigma, and silence of womanhood.
