RELEASES
Entertainment for the braindead - hydrophobia (aaahh002/aer014) 2008
Fragile lo-fi folk music by 21 year old singer and songwriter Julia Kotowski aka Entertainment for the braindead (Eftb). This release is published with cooperation of our friends from aaahh records, a brand new German netlabel with georgeous music.
“Hydrophobia” is full of colourful sounds and melodies. Ukulele, guitar and flute are ever-present instruments, just like Julias wonderful voice and her unconventional percussion that consists of jars, cans, boxes, drawers and peppermills. Her intimate songs are detailed snapshots of thoughts and feelings - sometimes filtered and reflected, sometimes pure and transparent.
All hydrophobia songs are about drowning, are written and recorded between April and July 2008.
Come and drown with us.
Release date: 29th August 2008
Coverartwork: Julia Kotowski
Mastering: Andreas Bonkowski

QUOTES
Favourite Netlabel Album 2008 #1Machtdose
Entertainment For The Braindead hält bei alledem die Balance und ist damit nicht zuletzt Vieles gleichzeitig: ruhig, verspielt, ausufernd, fokussiert und mit 10 Nummern eigentlich eh auf Albumlänge.THE GAP
stimmiges, leicht entrücktes gesamtkunstwerk, das seinesgleichen sucht last songs
This album is something special...nanolog
Musikalisch bezaubernd – frühlingselfenhaft – verspielt und verträumt... lieinthesound
Netaudio-Must have quasi. Traumhaft schön. kraftfuttermischwerk
High Quality folk music, trust me! yamanotedreams
Gelegentlich jedenfalls stößt man in all dieser vermeintlichen Mittelmäßigkeit auf echte Perlen ... Eine definitive solche Perle ist das Ein-Frau-Projekt Entertainment For The Braindead der jungen Kölner Kunststudentin Julia Kotowski. kammerflimmer
It is medicine for the soul. Fensepost
...gehört zu den kleinen Creative Commons-Sensationen des Jahres. Phlow.net

This is so beautiful! Every song is a gem. This album nearly had me in tears, and I very rarely cry. Julia Kotowski is one of the best singer/songwriters I've heard for a long time. Bravo!
