about

When light strikes metal foil, the reflecting surface throws it back. In «Perfect Pictures» Andrina Bollinger and Marena Whitcher use mirroring techniques musically.
Like shafts of light, they project themselves onto the surface of social expectations, bouncing back with unexpected versions of themselves.
Deliberately including recording errors and electronically misappropriated natural sounds, their manipulation of our musical perception exposes the secret flaws hidden in apparent perfection. Through this process of refraction, pictures are no longer perfect; they take on a texture that mirrors back more nuanced sensations. If this sounds potentially disturbing or unpleasant, rest assured that Eclecta’s voices tuck us into a warm blanket that comforts us into an enjoyment of their bewildering rhythmic inventions.

lyrics

I’ll let them
I’ll let them go
Those Perfect Pictures
How they got me on

The smashed words
And flawless vows
They’re spelling dangerous quotes
But they are sworn to go
Go, go!

‘Cause our risks they may or may not
Pan out

Go, try (let go)
Open Other Doors
To look behind
Go, try (let go)
Oh complexity can be
So confusing

I’ll let them
I’ll let them go
Those better chances
They were born to go

And as they
And as they crawl
Hidden behind fence
Hidden behind
Hind-uhu, hind-uhu, hind-uhu

‘Cause our risks they may or may not
Pan out

Go, try (let go)
Open Other Doors
To look behind
Go, try (let go)
Oh simplicity can be
Easy

Go, try (let go)
Open Other Doors
To look behind
Go, try (let go)
Oh complexity can be
So confusing

Go! uhu
Go! uhu
Go! uhu
Go! uhu
