EP3 by Fairyport Convent

Back to the roots with "EP3".

Our third EP was actually "Ajax" (2021), which came after "EP1" and "EP2".

On "EP3" we imagine a lost Fairyport Convent EP with brand new songs and older jams recorded and refreshed 2023.

"Dying Astronaut" is inspired by early Nektar and Eloy, and tells the tale of an astronaut travelling endlessly through the black empty space of the Universe.
"Savage Messiah" was inspired by the 1972 film, titled, of course, "Savage Messiah".
"Izidor" had its origin in the original high rise jams and is part of an improv saga of the war in space, Cold War, but also current war and wars all around this miserable planet. But the spirit of the track is somehow slightly cheerful, bringing to mind The Who, whose riffs inspired the song.
"Drinking Tatra, Smoking Spike" is sort of a product placement strategy - memorizing the Tatra beer and Spike cigarettes. Tatra was the cheapest beer available in the Górczyn high rise, and Spike were the best cigarettes we could smoke - cheap, and they came in packs of 30!
Finally, "Neon Jungle View" is about the big city. Any big city, since all big cities carry the same current of neon lit hi-tech solitude.

"EP3" is both something you'd expect from us, and something totally unexpected. It is also the unique Fairyport Convent sound you can love or hate, but it is ours and we are proud of it. We hope you enjoy the release and have fun listening.

Fly on.
