Tundra - Tajnie i Głębie [Zoharum - 2014]

Tajnie i Głębie" ( English translation Mysteries and Depths)- is the bands  full debut release, and it comes in the form of a six track CD." />
Tundra  is  an electro acoustic drone/ambient  project from Gdańsk  Poland- the project is a two piece affair & consists of Dawid Adrjanczyk and Krzysiek Joczyn. "Tajnie i Głębie" ( English translation Mysteries and Depths)- is the bands  full debut release, and it comes in the form of a six track CD.

Each of the albums tracks is built around a moody & darkly atmospheric mixture of layers of hovering yet often brooding drone matter,  or haunting synth/organ shimmer- this is sometimes topped with lines of skeletal & eerier ritual percussive & minimal acoustic instrumental detail, subtle traces of field recordings, and minimal samples.  The whole album has a very forlorn, low-key, nocturnal and at times wonky feel to it- it sounds like it could be at times some lost soundtrack for a morose & troubling black & white euro art movie from the late 70’s/ early 80’s, or the music to some slowed & sinister ritual unfolding.

Length wise the tracks fall between three & seventeen minute, and through out the album there’s a nice balance of both simple(yet memorable) melody lines and dark/ troubled atmosphere.  As début albums goes this is fairly impressive, with the band managing to capture their own take of ambient making as well as creating a rewarding & replayble collection of tracks. I very much look forward to hearing what this project does in the future.
