I had written about Werl 3 last year, which Aidan Baker's collab with Gareth Davies and Tomas Jarmyr (Motorpsycho). This album is the precursor of that one, but not in Baker's usual ambient/drone style. This is Baker sodomizing the guitar and Jarmyr blasting everywhere, playing an unstoppable prog/free jazz/post metal delirium, always reaching higher and higher. 2016 cd on Consouling Sounds.
PS: On vacation as of yesterday, so no posts for a few days.
Too damn good to be true. John Olson on sax and noise, Ben Hall on drums, Hans Buetow on cello, free jazz/noise fuckery. 2010 cdr on Editions Brokenresearch.
No comments. I must just say that especially the cello concertos are mouth-dropping. 2018 3 X CD on the one and only Мелодия.
I've posted their second tape four years ago; this is their first one. Hypnotic, elegiac, Arab and raga-inspired psych rock, like a more lysergic, lo-fi Rhyton. 2012 tape on Sloow Tapes.
I think there are three or four different recordings of Kanon Pokajanen; this is probably the most recent one. It's really one of Arvo's best works, actually many choir melodies on this one could be black metal or d-beat riffs. 2016 cd on Harmonia Mundi.
VYRYV is Lee Stokoe (Culver, etc, regular readers you know my worship) playing Posh Isolation-style synth ambient; Morbid Debasement plays more dark-ambient-ish with organ. Cool stuff. 2019 2X3" cdr.
Amazing devotional fourth-world pagan ambient ritual similar to Vibracathedral Orchestra and Million Brazilians by this unknown Yorkshire project (though I suspect an Ashtray Navigations connection...). 2019 cd on Memoirs Of An Aesthete.
If Django Reinhardt played improvised this is what it would sound like. An avant-garde improvised - but also "structured" - string quartet with guitar destroying everything. 2009 cd on Konnex Records.
