Perhaps inevitable, but with Mover, Mattias Lagerkvist aka Murkla manoeuvres portions of the follow up to 2023's Leviata alongside previously explored territory. By no means a less adventurous outing, but people familiar with his other alias Ekolali will surely recognise the scenery.
In a landscape of sound, the journey is encompassed by the hiss and hum from poor field recordings, the screech and wobble from old tape delays and cassette recorders, as drones, lush and desolate share the vistas with slug and squelching bass lines and rapid arpeggios. Bongos, fast and bulbous, heavy breathing and saxophone-like freak outs pay visits as the contrapuntal percussion keeps the odyssey on beat. Truly some strange sights you wouldn't want to miss. So close your eyes and take the hand of the Mover, and we'll meet on the other side.
Mattias has previously released music on labels such as Not Not Fun, BAKK, Constellation Tatsu, and Patience, but since being tasked with resurrecting Terrorific Rekords, the 20 year old label he helped curate back in the early 2000s, he has used the revitalised label as his main platform.
Dunno why I like it. Don't really have a preferred style (or taste tbf) , but its wonderful. Wish I had the CD. WCW is a superstar (in waiting lol) and Diana Crash's vocals are super peachy. Just right on the spot for whatever Bill cooks up. I've played it over & over since I got the DL. Really hope they do more stuff together & this is the start of something beautiful. Lo-fi electro kosmisch psychedelia reading my mind. Monkton Wylde
On this live album, the North Carolina experimental trio use improvisational interplay to fill a room with ecstatic tones, waiting for something to stick. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 11, 2024
