about: “Retroflex" was a recording project developed by Keno throughout the coronavirus lock down period. What started out as an experiment in pairing electronic drums with electric guitars, soon became a 5 track EP. After sending ideas back and forth online, the music was recorded in a living room in Clapton.
As this recording project was approached as a one-off, there is no plans to use sequenced instruments live in the future, but it was an interesting experiment to utilise what was there at the time.
Happening simultaneously to these recordings, the city was closing down and locking up. Governments across the globe prioritised the economy over saving lives. The world mourned and protested racially-focused police brutality.
The experience of self-quarantine, and the ongoing political shortcomings that accompanied it, helped shape the sentiment to this release.
Any money generated by sales will be equally donated to two organisations that offer support to communities affected by social hardship and institutionalised racism. One is based in the UK and the other in Australia; two countries lacking accountability for systemic discrimination. We do not plan to recoup any money for the production costs of the tape etc.
