Ilk

Melotron Recordings is proud to announce its second title, a 40 minutes cassette Lp from London based The Ilk.

What is known for certain about The Ilk is that its membership is half English and half German, and that the first manifestation under that name was back in 2002, providing a vertigo-inducing mash-up for the AA side of Earworm Soup, the final 7" single on the esteemed Earworm record label. A similarly skewed reworking of The Beatles' 'Revolution 9' made it onto the playlist of the October 2008 edition of Mojo Magazine. In the meantime, The Ilk's MySpace page played host to occasional works-in-progress of a quite different nature, described by The Coral's Nick Power as 'a dead powerful marriage between Krautrock and prog with Wicker Man folk'. Over the next few years these musical experiments gradually took the form of a full length album, The New Dark Age, its title inspired by the classic 1975 BBCtv series ”The Changes” by way of Rob Young's book Electric Eden.
