Lasse Marhaug & Anla Courtis - Jordslev Hojaldre [Quasi pop Records - 2007]

This collaboration between Norse noise master Lasse Marhaug & Argentinean musique-concrete artist Anla Courtis summons up a wonderful oppressive, organic and grey hallucinogenic nightmarish world that sits less in the all out sonic attack territory & more in the creepy suffocating dread connor.

The tracks either concentrate on muffled and sinister drone emission the lap, ebb and sour your listening space, or crackling/crunching sound rolls that weep eeriness. Or weird sound collages made from discordant/ speed up guitar elements, human chatter & all manner of grey hallucinogenic sound matter. At times it climbs to near noise but it just feels so spent and greyed it never becomes punishing or harsh. This is akin to been wrapped in a strangle comforting but decaying cocoon,it all makes for a bent & sinister sound trip that really seems to sink deep into your psyche leaving your mind reeling with strange imagery and the feeling of oddly sadness.

This is my first taste of Courtis work & I have to say I’m highly impressed with his inputting here & as usual Marhaug is on top sonic form, the pair really making an impressive grey sound delight. With the only downside to this exllellent and really must have release is it’s insanely ltd to only 100 cassettes- so act quick & make your way here …the clock is ticking!
