Following a creative burst in 2024 that resulted in several releases on iDEAL, New Forces and No Rent, label favorites Organ of Corti are returning to DMR for their first LP. Slowly moving into new territory, they deliver 6 bare boned surreal soundscapes. Minimal, repetitive tape loops, haunting synths and vaguely familiar vocal samples are carefully mixed for a sonic exercise reminiscent of those classic Nurse with Wound and Organum releases.
The Swedish trio of scene veterans Joachim Nordwall, Mattias Gustafsson and Dan Johansson have been exploring the possibilities of sound manipulation for years, together or by themselves under various aliases. Stoically moving forward in pursuit of obscure, atmospheric textures that will get right under your skin. While the world is falling apart, they have been fine-tuning their hallucinatory concrète ambiances. The sort of stuff that fits a bleak, enervated mood by chewing on nerve ends, transporting heads to other places.
Mattias Gustafsson (born 1978) is a sound artist from Mjölby, Sweden that has been releasing music as Altar Of Flies and his given name since 2006. He mostly works with magnetic tape and various instruments & electronics. His music is influenced by the electroacoustic music of the 1900´s and the millennium noise underground. He has released records on labels like iDEAL,B.A.A.D.M., Järtecknet etc.
