ELISA in between breaths

THE TIMELESS VALLEY

ELISA (in between breaths)

~EP~

completely remixed versions by Stevi Valley.

The song enters spheres that the Valley has never entered before.

A really exciting and powerful interpretation, with huge drums and haunting guitar lines.

The extended version, on the other hand, is almost inconspicuous and is more reminiscent of the original, but still exudes charm and lets ELISA dance forever.

“DIRGE” was chosen to end the single.

It’s hard to come by

space-filling, carried by an atmospheric guitar hook supported by strings and a silent choir.

And a haunting and sad melody.

Carried by the stupid singing through the emotional world of a lost soul.

the first edition of the single is strictly limited to 3oo copies in a 4 page digipack.

~black version~ ltd edition

Imagine that this report was written about one of those legendary black and white paper fanzines from a few decades ago like "Low Life", "Fight Amnesia!", "The Torturer" or "Dusk Memories". This is the only way you can fully immerse yourself in the music of THE TIMELESS VALLEY, a cult band of the nineties with three K7 demos under their belt, which locked their creativity in a “cryogenic chamber” in 1999 and reopened it in 2021, with all the for the compositional qualities of the "old school" generation typical of "Second". Oh yes, already with the first notes of "Happy Suicide", a song that opens the long-distance debut "Live Die Live" (Autopr.) of the German combo , thoughts immediately go to the "independent" Sisters Of Mercy from "The Reptile House Ep" or the 7" "Alice". Then what about the voice of Hag En Valley? I really believe that if we hear Andrew Eldritch "Apart" If he were to perform it, he would recognize his own voice without remembering ever having sung that particular song: the similarity of voice is impressive, more so than that of various Dirk “Marvin Arkham” Onnertz (TMT) and Peter Beckers (S.I.) and Sergio Castelli (S.S.). The album is a succession of self-sufficient gothic rock with an alternation of fast and dry compositions such as "Elisa", "Hard Rain" with more atmospheric compositions such as "Cold Things", "Nightcrawler" and "When You're Not Here" with the be a real hit “Tough Guys”. In summary, “Live Die Live” is perfect for all lovers of the “Sisterian Old School” who definitely don’t want to miss this “merciful release” and forego modernity and originality. Physically down since January 2nd
