Kongo – Blubber Label: Ur Muzik – UR010 Format: CD, Album Country: Poland Released: 22 Dec 2016 Style: Industrial, Experimental
Henrik Nordvargr Björkk and Peter Nyström are both well known figures in the realm of dark soundscapes. They have been providing their obscure sonorities for decades now and each new release by either of the two legendary artists is an awaited treat. With their new project KONGO, Björkk and Nyström set off on a journey where they delve deep into early industrial music: using cut-up technique, processing speech samples, looping distorted melodies and making Blubber the ultimate homage to Severed Heads and Cabaret Voltaire’s works. It’s hectic, obsessive, and crazy. And it’s got that punk feel to it – a perfect soundtrack to the fucked-up world we are living in. Comes with an amazing artwork by Kellerman Design in a digipack edition of 300 copies.
Label: Rage In Eden RAGE98 Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition Country: Poland Released: 20 Oct 2013 Style: Modern Classical, Ambient
“Misty shroud of regrets” presents a corpus of spleen-piano based ambiences and nightly soundscaping laments for electric organ and darkened chords. The musical ensemble reveals microtonal bitter melodies occasionally punctuated by a few narrative parts, an array of noises, found sounds and field recordings. “Misty shroud of regrets” is a timeless musical effort based on the existential photographic poetry of Yulia Kazban.
Day Before Us is a darkly cinematic and semiclassical ambient project from France and formed by the piano player Philippe Blache. Since 2011 a handful of albums have been published on independent labels such as Rage in Eden, Cathedral Transmissions and Kadaath Records. At the occasion of international art-film festivals, Day Before Us has provided scores to Jana Brike’s animation films. Philippe Blache has collaborated with fellow musicians Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh, Hall of Mirrors), Markus Pape, Davide Riccio, Oksana Rodionova (Xiu), Jessica Peace and Rory McCormick (6&8). Until mid-2013 Day Before Us music has been almost exclusively instrumental. Effrosyni Papamichalopoulou (ex-Decadence) has newly joined the musical entity to reinforce the lyrical elements. A full length release related to this musical turn is currently in progress and should see the light in mid or late 2014.
