orphan fairytale is the solo monniker of eva van deuren, member of the lady folk troupe MASKESMACHINE, who started blowing my mind 12 years ago as a street performance troupe in antwerp. besides my own ladyfriend, i don't think i know anyone better than eva, and her boyfriend (audiobot madman) carlo steegen. for some reason this makes it even more difficult to write a decent description for this record, we live in the same mansion, and i could write a lot of stories about doing the dishes together, or putting the garbage out..
ORPHAN FAIRYTALE is a dedication to eva's mom, who died when eva was 14 years old. a melancholic soundtrack to the loss, and a way of dealing with it! a maze of ever changing casio trips dripping with childish xtc, , a belly dancer oozing for endless adolescence playing with burned dolls in a barbie house filled with pedals and looptapes!
melanchotronic folk reminescent to some moondog, the contemporary finnish crew, delia derbyshire, and asian pop.
this lp comes in a full color collaged cover deisgn by dennis tyfus with 2 inserts.
limited to 400 copies
