AYRIA - DEBRIS

LABEL: Alfa Matrix [AM.1028CD]

INTRODUCTION:

Is it Madonna singing Nitzer Ebb? Or is it FELIX DA HOUSECAT feat. Miss Kitten having a jam session with HUMAN LEAGUE? "Debris" is nothing of this yet somehow a bit of it all! Wrapping you up and plunging you into an explosive cocktail of influences and genres finding its roots in the early 80's electronic and ethereal music and evolving towards 21st futuristic electronica, mixed with old-school EBM giving a nod to electro-clash. Above all, "Debris" is the much anticipated album by AYRIA, aka ex-EPSILON MINUS' female lead-singer Jennifer Parkin  (Toronto, Canada) and GLIS' perfectionist man-machine Shaun Frandsen (Seattle, USA). Assisted in studio by an array of special guests including Russia's DJ RAM (Virtual Server), Haujobb, Iris, DJ Delobbo and Massiv In Mensch. AYRIA is now ready to take center stage and proudly present their original and extravagant combination of aggressive EBM cuts with more melodic synthpop / techno tracks lavished with rich and expressive female vocals. An astounding palette of edgy electronic styles perfectly fitting the impressive vocal range of sexy and sassy Miss Parkin... 100% adrenaline pumping EBM clearly demonstrating in 13 lessons that "less" can be "much more". Ayria will be on tour in North America in November 2003 together with Razed In Black and Glis.
