Lisa and Marina began writing ΔGO immediately after returning from an extensive tour throughout Europe and America. Filled with inspiration, excitement and with overwhelmingchanges in their lives post tour, they searched for shelter at Lisa’s beach house inSardinia. Here they set up a studio and found the perfect space and freedom needed tocreate and experiment with new sounds.
All songs on ΔGO were written from edited improvisations and immediately recorded,whilst post-production is also a key element in the whole creative process. Retro-futurist,psychedelic and cosmic pop elements are accentuated on this record. At times uplifting, attimes drone and Kraut-like. They are strongly influenced by primitive electronicexperimentalists and pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram of The BBCRadiophonic Workshop.
The title ΔGO symbolises the retro-futurist concept: without context the word becomesabstract and helps to weave together the past and future (AGO also means needle inItalian). It can be read as AGO as used in story telling of times ‘long ago’ or as A GO, as if‘giving a go’ at something new in the future.
Equally, the lines of Lisa and Marina’s distorted silhouettes on both album cover artworkand ‘Dancing Star’ video, inspired by Rutt-Etra-Izer, provides a visual representation of it.
