AMPH "RAPPORT OM BLINDA" C24 [SPRACH 02]

The southern Swedish underground hits you again!
With substantial pride we present Sprachlos Verlag #2, this time introducing Malmö duo Amph (Mirros Are Black + Sandor Rado) and their record collected meltdown of tape loop minimalist composition, oriental psych and industrial-minded haze. The two side-length pieces on »Rapport om blinda« sees the duo working an array of tape decks and cassette loops to create a rich tapestry of slow-moving sound, continuously marked with a caliginous, ritualistic edge. This is an ethnomusicological excavation through candle wax, West Bengal ragas and loose strips of magnetic tape; conceived and channeled along the tripartite recording axis of Västanforsgatan, Betaniaplan and Vårgatan.

LANDVARELSER "STRÅLNING B" C30 [SPRACH 03]

Landvarelser is yet another alter ego of the enigmatic Stockholmer and family man known from Time Deleters, Sphynxs, Johan Rohbau and more. As the keen listener will have noticed, elements of noise music (and more importantly: the mentality of it) has always been present in his work, although its blunt forcefulness has often been restrained within the warped melodious framework characteristic to his peculiar sound. Until now that is. For his Verlag release he was asked to let go of any constraints and unashamedly give room to the C.C.C.C. and Incapacitants worship implicit in his discography. Landvarelser thus delivers a sublime mess of a junk-infused psychedelic miasma, retaining the weird edge from the Time Deleters sound while forcefully transforming it into a feedbacking maelstrom of pulverizing capacitates.

I really liked the Amph-tape. Solid stuff! Have to pick up the Landvarelser as well

Matthias

Yeah, Amph cassette has been on constant rotation here. Murky and bleak loopbased music with some weirdo etno-vibes down under. Recommended!
