Ondakeiki / CANTI VOL.1

The debut EP by ONDAKEIKI sits halfway between a meditation session and a wild beach party, where reggae rhythms meet post-punk angularity and hypnotic psychedelia. Wrapped in a warm blanket of reverb and delay, the four long songs strike a delicate balance between fun and spirituality. While the pulsating basslines hit you square in the chest, drums, guitar, keys and effects flutter around like hummingbirds, and the vocals paint pictures of transcendent journeys where oneness with nature, peace and acceptance are the prevailing hues.

With ‘Canti Vol. I’, ONDAKEIKI invite us to take a ritual bath in the mind-ocean, a barefoot hike to the top of the third-eye mountain, a deep breath of sage smoke from a distant planet—to get in touch with our inner kid and sing, dance and laugh until it’s time to flip the tape over again.

‘Canti Vol. I’ is SFA017. Edition of 60 on pro-dubbed yellow cassettes with artwork by Liz Van Der Nüll.
