Sometimes With Others is the project of singer and songwriter Mika Bajinski and cellist
Marie-Claire Schlameus in collaboration with bassist and arranger Yoyo Rohm known among others
as a member of the Mick Harvey Band and his longtime friend and colleague Kristof Hahn Lap
Steel guitarist of the band SWANS. So how does it sound? Elements from classical blues jazz
rock and psychedelia merge into a cinematic atmosphere which Mika Bajinski's sonorous voice
carries through her stories. An uncompromising vision that promises something sacred and
glides on a fine network of male and female expression past and future accessibility and
experimental outburst light and dark. SWOs first LP has been released under the title NOUS on
GRAND CHESS with guest musician Larry Mullins a.k.a. Toby Dammit (of Iggy and The Stooges &
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fame) on drums and percussion recorded live under the direction of
Ingo Krauss. NOUS is the initial release on the newly found art-label GRAND CHESS. It comes as
a 180 gram audiophile vinyl release in a de-luxe 350 gram gatefold Cover with artwork by James
Gallon Drunk Johnston. Complete views of the artworks are included as high quality photo
prints.
