YKR 2015: Makeup and Vanity Set

posted December 29, 2015 #

In April of 2015, YK Records released the double LP album Wilderness from Makeup and Vanity Set. It was a hugely collaborative effort with MAVS, Telefuture Records. Joey Ciccoline and Version Industries. It is a dark musical journey that aids as a supporting character to the short film EIDOLON. It's not a soundtrack but another piece of the puzzle.

I am extremely proud of all the releases I am involved with but feel particularly humbled to be involved with so many great creators - particularly the man behind the music. The album is as beautiful as it is creepy. I've walked home in the dead of night listening to it and felt the presence of some foreboding ghost - despite having listened to the album plenty of times before. It's rare that an electronic record can feel haunting but I truly get that sensation listening to this.

The record did so well that we even did a second pressing, an absolute rarity for YK Records. I suggest getting your hands on it before it sells out (again) as it is an album that will forever be worth listening to.
