about

1st EP from cybernetic synth group pioneers 3 Electro Knights, showcasing their unique approach to man and machine working together. As artists their approach is informed by the 'spontaneous composition' of 70s Krautrock giants Can. Everything is played live with outboards synths and drum machines and later edited with only occasional overdubs. Influences are not consciously referenced but 70's German synth music, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Detroit techno, Vangelis and contemporary classics such as Craven Faults are obvious reference points.

Norman Records in Leeds described the EP sounding like:

"The live improvisation feel of these four tracks feels like a marriage of Can and Chicago house."

On this record an exception is Why Don't You Cry Over Me, which was recorded in the first weeks of lockdown, and includes contributions from mastering engineer, ambient artist and former member of 48 Cameras and friend of the band Peter James, and vocals from fine artist and singer with Jesus Licks and Silkess Demon Dominique Golden.
