Its been a while since we received correspondance from the fictive archaeologists at Dramatic records, so it is with great joy that we present a swansong tale from their Endless House archives. The track below is taken from the final chapter in the elaborate construct known as the Endless House which, if you are lucky enough to have not read a music blog over the last year or so, and would like to start the story at the beginning – then you can begin here.

And may we reiterate our appeal there for the good people of the world to get this creative with the words as well as the music – it surely makes it a better place. Below follows a letter from Rasmus Folk himself explaining the piece on offer today – so switch off that reverb unit, press pause on the Paw Tracks folder, read on and be inspired. Together we can stop humanity xeroxing itself into an unreconisable smudge at the bottom of a recycling bin in what used to be Coventry. Thanks.

Dear 20JFG,

Of my time at Endless House, and of the various personalities who slipped upon its stage, I have – in truth – very little recollection. Schnaffs, yes, was somebody whom I remember respecting to a degree, admirably rather than likeably earnest I recall. I caught three of four minutes of his “Phillips Pavillion” piece, and that was probably enough.

My vision was blurred, you see. Blurred by too much gelato with Marcello M, too much production work for RAI Due early evening erotica, and far too much time spent chasing – and being chased by – one Sylvia Kristel. We loved to swim together, Sylvia and I, amidst the hostile ‘spuma’ of the Adriatic or the bracing green of the Hampstead Ponds.

Anyway, I had intended to keep this characteristically brief. So brief it shall be.

Enjoy the record. We may yet make a success of this blasted thing…

Con amore/Mit Liebe/With love,

Rasmus

Your less-than-on-it infoportal reveals that the Folks/Schnaffs EP came out last week on Dramatic Records.
