about

Released in 2002 as Drekka's first full-length CD, this is a re-worked version of Drekka's fourth cassette, "There can make nothing of difference" (1998).

The first 75 copies of Drekka's second full-length CD, "Extractioning" (2005), came with a hand-made lyric booklet, produced on graph paper w/ a hand-sewn Japanese 'stab-style' binding. It contained the lyrics to both "Extractioning" and "Take Care To Fall".

We have included a PDF of this booklet w/ the digital download, as well as JPGs of the original artwork and press-sheets.

This digital re-release contains the bonus track, k.joy - "Sway" (Drekka mix). It was recorded during the same sessions as much of the album and originally submitted to a couple comps that never came out.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

DREKKA is the work of Bluesanct figurehead, Michael Anderson. Along with a rotating ensemble of players, DREKKA makes what has been coined 'experimental folk'; an attempt to record what goes on inside one's mind, to be shard with all the wonderful children who understand that the world that surrounds us is full of endless possibilities.

The result sounds as if Nurse With Wound were to produce Donovan... sort of.

Comparisons have been made to everyone from Flying Saucer Attack to Coil, from Leonard Cohen, Bright Eyes to Hafler Trio.

"DREKKA makes reverb-laden atmospheric pieces, largely guitar-based, about half instrumental. [DREKKA] has a by turns soothing and haunting quality, trading heavily but worthily on the atmosphere they create, in much the same way as a lot of Kranky's output. And that Drekka are in the same league is in no doubt."
- Speeder UK, ~1997
