Projekt celebrates its 300th release with a loving homage to Black tape for a blue girl from Italy’s All my faith lost… Redefine my pure faith is extremely limited, with only 134 copies available from Projekt. Don’t miss out on your copy.
Coinciding with the vinyl release of Blacktape’s Remnants of a Deeper purity, the ethereal neo-classical All my faith lost… takes a loving look back as they re-interpret six songs in their particular style: fragile, ethereal, otherwordly, melancholic, innocent, and beautiful. The classical instrumentation of acoustic guitar, violin and cello is graced by heavenly female and earthy male vocals. Slow, emotional progressions that captivate the listener, drawing them into a subtle and hypnotic embrace.
Vocalist/instrumentalist Viola and vocalist/guitarist Federico explain, “Without Blacktape, All my faith lost… music would not have been the same; a sort of tribute to such an influential band was due. All my faith lost… take Blacktape songs and dismantle them, pulling out the heart and the core of each track and redefining them following our own vision.”
Released in a limited edition of 200, Redefine my pure faith is a unique collection of songs that will enthrall fans of both bands. It’s a perfect recording for those late night moments when you are most honest with yourself.
Are you ready to redefine your pure faith?

Bristol's very own electronica export Allflaws have announced that they have already begun work on a new forthcoming album which they are looking to release later this year on UK label Derelict State Records.
Allflaws led by vocalist and producer Gabriel Curran released the somewhat daring, experimental and dystopian LP Versus The Soul back in June of 2013 to wide acclaim. Subsequently the albums release was marred by the banning of the music video Metamorphosis, which was deemed too explicit and controversial for Youtube and other media networks. The follow up will be there 4th official studio album, and will be a very timely and prompt return for Allflaws who have an uncanny knack for producing progressive and leftfield material with influences ranging from industrial, hip hop, trip hop, dance, rock and IDM.
Things are really going fast these days as a couple of days ago Lumière announced the highly acclaimed Jacques Tati-box and now the label informs us about two brand new other releases.
