Karina ESP, the pseudonym of Chris Gowers of London, uk, began life in 1998
after several home-recordings of improvised ambient-guitar experiments were collated
to form what would become the debut album “Summer”. The results, as well as on
the follow-up album “Broken Tree”, were slowly evolving dream-like guitar ambience,
minimal floating space-folk tracks & blissed-out feedback, and were linked at
the time to both Circle Brothers and a more ‘out-there’ Flying Saucer Attack.
Subsequent sonic excursions into melancholic drones and ‘inner-space’-rock
has led the sound to more introspective territories, as heard on “ExperimentalSpaceProject”
and “Radius of Sound”.
After numerous long-players and appearances on
various compilations and split 7”s, a Karina ESP recordings has been released
by morc. It's a limited split 10” with Circle Brothers, which saw both bands mailing
unfinished tracks to each other to see what came back. Or, if you like, a post-rock
post collaboration. The resulting mixture of space-pop and floating guitar-drifts
recalled touches of The Azusa Plane and Windy & Carl, and brought together two
allies in the world of bedroom guitar ambient.
by the time this record
was sold out, the compilation album “Extra-Sensory Projections” had seen daylight.
it gathers rare and unreleased tracks from the past five years and varies from
‘acid folk’ to dark alien drones and beyond.

ESP: "Extra sensory projections"
tape - released september
2004
a collection of some songs chris gowers recorded
somewhere between 1999 and 2004. As The Wire put it: ''Karina ESP sets in slow
motion a series of tonal drifts from attack suppressed guitar resonance and carefully
controlled amplifier feedback, resulting in a barren and vaguely hostile environment'.
