Label: Touch

当店激推しプロジェクトの6thアルバム!!英Touchレーベルの創設者の一人Mike Hardingと、早い段階からその周辺に関わっていたMark Van Hoenによるユニット"Drøne。ここ数年C. M. von Hausswolffの娘Anna von Hausswolffが運営するレーベルPomperipossa Recordsからの音源出版が続いていましたが、6枚目のアルバムは自主制作で発表。過去の音源よりも明らかに実験的且つノイジーな仕上がりであり、ラジオ放送、高密度の虫の声、不気味に変調された声が混ざり合う、今までに無い混沌とした音響構造に良い意味で裏切られます。







Extended gatefold with photography by Nico van Hoen

drøne are Mike Harding & Mark Van Hoen, with guests on 'feral' Elisa Fairies (vocals) & Sissi Rada (Harp). Also featuring recordings by Jana Winderen and photography by Nico Van Hoen, it is drøne's 6th full length album.

What they've said before:

"…a hauntingly strange and mysterious immersion into a crackling entropy of phantom radio transmissions, squalls of static, choruses of insects, and creepily digitized voices." [Brainwashed]

"Both of A Perfect Blind's long form pieces have brief samples of telephonic voice that emerge out of drøne's delicate and refined weave of suspended electronics and stealthy strings. They suggest a meditation on distant webs of communication, like a watchful alien intelligence who for centuries has remained curious but too circumspect and wary to make contact. However, as they steadily and gracefully travel to their conclusions, both pieces develop into more musical passages, perhaps to inject a sense of pathos, as if memories of beauty are identified in wake of the more foreboding environments of the present." [The Quietus]
