BBC review
Lost&Found
is Einóma's new EP, out in January 2011 on Shipwrec records. The record features
one long new track on the A-side as well as two older and previously unreleased
pieces for the B-side. The main track, 'Bla' was conceived after editing real-time
and live sessions made for gigs after the release of last years 'Tvenna'. The sound
material 'Bla' was initially made from was made a few years back and the idea and title of the
EP, 'Lost and found' came about, reworking of older ideas in a new setting. The
A-side demonstrates the more dancefloor sides of Einóma while the B-side explores
the more energetic and dense regions Einóma have become more known for.
Lost & Found EP on SHIPWREC jan 2011 by Einóma on SHIPWREC
"'Bla' pitches and twists through an intricate and
organic 4/4 techno matrix, stretched between dense thickets of noise and sparse,
hallucinatory drum patterns. Both 'BF' and 'LF' on the flip are more mutant, HipHop-tempo
electronica, amorphous, sinister and slithering."
Boomkat review for Lost&Found
Tvenna After
three years of silence and six years since the highly acclaimed "Milli Tonverka"
LP, Reykjavik´s Einoma return with a highly beat-driven and epic two track EP for
Lamadameaveclechien. Composing for the first time pieces based on live sets and
improvisations, the EP shows a more organic nature of Einoma´s sound. Its complex
sound flow still remains very rhythmic and almost dance floor like in it´s unfolding
sound quality. Big emphasis on bass, icy textures, detailed sound design and an
almost repetitive narrative is the main focus point of these two very original and
dramatic pieces. The EP comes with a stunning artwork and a big poster from Sherrie
Thai from Shaire productions who´s 'graphic alchemy' seems to fit the music perfectly
on a fundamental level.

"Tvenna is highly original, engaging, and recommended
for any fan of challenging music."

Stepoma (excerpt) by Einóma on LMALC
"Driven by a relentless beat and a metallic groove,
Minióma is the most upbeat of the two, its highly mechanised rhythm set on a seemingly
unstoppable path. While the pace slows down for a time half way through, to open
up on a much more subtle atmospheric groove, it soon picks up again but becomes
slightly less predictable, stumbles upon itself, picks up again before eventually
losing momentum entirely. Stepóma initially seems harsher, more abrupt and concussed,
more arid too, led by a post industrial metallic beat, but the more complex aspect
of the track makes it even more subject to drastic rhythmic and atmospheric shifts
than its predecessor."
