Ekca Liena, the work of the prodigious Dan Mackenzie, created quite a stir with his monumental debut 'Slow Music For Rapid Eye Movement'. Issued via the excellent Dead Pilot Records, this record was a stunning collision of monolithic drones, volcanic guitar and cascading ambient soundscaping, that led those in the know to draw comparisons with Stars of the Lid, Tim Hecker, Fennesz and even Mogwai. One critic even labeled it as '..a piece of music that may alter your perception of the word epic'.
Mackenzie has not rested on his laurels; as well as founding drone outfit Plurals he has been busy recording new material for both Dead Pilot and Under the Spire Records, while remastering 'Slow Music...' for a wider release. Phantom Channel has also commissioned a piece from Mackenzie and is delighted to welcome his Ekca Liena project into our blossoming roster.
