***DEBUT EP RELEASE*** ǂ (Excerpt taken from Julian Copes September Drudion headheritage.co.uk) ǂ ACOUSTIKA E.P. by Acoustika. ǂ "Treading dark fölk territory is the Nottingham singer/poet Acoustika, whose CD debut is currently available on Julian Copes own Fuck Off & Di label. ǂ This five-song release opens with the truly heroic epic ballad 'Bespoke Love Song', a desperate and moving affair which sounds like some rural Kurdt Cobain declaiming hoarsely from the end of his tether, and backed by that same cavernous orchestra that Scott Walker employed on SCOTT 2. ǂ Elsewhere, Acoustika's highly melancholic groove is mainly a lonely acoustic guitar-driven one, and Julian Copes personal favourite is the deep emptiness of the lost-in-space ballad 'Am I Not Yours?' ǂ Long time Cope watchers will recognise Acoustika as the cover star of last year's album YOU GOTTA PROBLEM WITH ME, and he is also a featured singer on Julian Copes new BLACK SHEEP album." ǂ
