Plateau by Taxgorkhan
This LP presents the first recordings of the esoteric Norwegian one-man band Taxgorkhan. Plateau is an instrumental musical travelogue that blends experimental prog, psych and electronic rock in equal measures.
The music of Taxgorkhan flows from a place of pure, wide-eyed wonder, absorbing streams of expression, contemporary and ancient, synthesising new forms for the post-everything age by fusing plastic with wood, voices with waveforms, hand claps with mouse clicks.
Taxgorkhan is the brainchild of composer, producer and musician J. Hannevold, who describes Plateau as:
A simple story about travel, perhaps only for the sake of travel, Plateau tells of sights and dangers on the road.
