Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
This limited edition mini-album is pressed with an 'eco-mix' vinyl that uses up leftover coloured pellets from previous vinyl runs, mixes them together and produces a run of randomised ‘lucky-dip’ colour vinyl. This cuts down on waste and can also result in some impressive colours. Every single record has its own individual colour and effect.

Features collage artwork by Sleep Sparrow printed on textured, uncoated sleeves and contains a printed insert with lyrics and sleevenotes.

Includes digital pre-order of Night Creature. You get 3 tracks now (streaming via the free Bandcamp app and also available as a high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more), plus the complete album the moment it’s released.

LYRICS Catastrophically off topic Conversation’s lost its place This can’t be it, just talking sh*t This can’t be it, just talking talking Come into land Argue the point Of parallel notions To endless voids Catastrophically off topic Conversation’s lost its place I see you there, that glassy stare You can’t still be just talking, talking Just talking, talking

LYRICS Through hedgerows flicker The final rays of the sun Watering eyes, falter These long golden days Lingering on Move swiftly, go gently I hardly remember your face Palms out wide, grapple The inside of my mind Seems to displace you I snap the wishbone, Snap the wishbone in two Snap the wishbone, Snap the wishbone, And bury it Under the house Can you feel it there? It rattles and fumbles Through dusty air To bring you good news She brings you good news This hallowed home Where we forgot her name Carve it in, again Under the house

about

Rosie Tee spellbinds once more with ‘Night Creature’ - an avant-pop cryptid and the first release from Kikimora Records. This six track mini-album imagines folk tales from Tee’s Polish roots through a haze of purring synths and spacious beats.

Written in an old church in the Brecon Beacons, the tracks have been carefully arranged with Tee and her quartet over almost two years of rehearsal and live shows, committing them to recording in the Spring of 2023. The band (Kai Chareunsy, Dan Cippico and Piera Onacko) all contribute their voices to the hallucinatory collage which is ‘Night Creature’.

Each arrangement transports the listener to a forest of lush textures before revealing Tee’s trademark imagist lyrics. Grounded in her folk music background, ‘Night Creature’ populates its sound worlds with fantastical characters. “In Polish folklore, a female house spirit is known as a Kikimora,” Tee explains. “Often visualised as a moth, she can either be a ‘cruel’ or a ‘kind’ spirit. Depending on the home she dwells in, the Kikimora can be a caring protector or a bringer of havoc.”

Produced by Town Studios and mastered by Weird Jungle collective, the recordings emboss textures that suggest a sense of place; with the title single ‘Night Creature’ and its music video forming a love letter to the emerging NightGarden festival Tee co-produces in Manchester’s hinterland. Dive deep into the songs and they conjure images of secret gatherings with otherworldly revellers and neon bouncing off glossy leaves. Follow ‘Night Creature’ through the undergrowth, and see what you find.
