Kalina Solarek hails from Zurich, Switzerland, and attenuation circuit is very happy to present her debut mini-album. The stark psychedelic constructivism of the cover art sparks associations with techno aesthetics. This is no coincidence, as some of Command-K's tracks exhibit strong flavours of ambient techno. Yet the emphasis always remains on the 'ambient' aspect. The warmth and depth of Command-K's rich sonic textures is especially enhanced by the imaginative combinations of electronic instruments with her electric guitar.

The titles of the six tracks, from the ambiguous acronyms of the album and some track titles through genre-typical 'space' images like „View From Above“ or „Collision with Aliens“ to a 'hyperrealistic' title like „Football Fans in Altstetten“, the tracks outline the different imaginary journeys that the music allows to the listener. Always lush, yet not necessarily without a certain subdued unease hiding in the back of the soundscape and adding suspense, these six compositions offer discoveries of unexpected details and loopholes with each repeated listen.
