Svarte Greiner ~ Devolving Trust
Erik K. Skodvin returns to his Svarte Greiner persona for Devolving Trust, a bleak yet meditative electro-acoustic improvisation for cello and electronics recorded in the crypt-like basement of an old Berlin brewery. While a seasoned improviser, Skodvin has eschewed releasing live

Kaboom Karavan ~ The Log and the Leeway

Marcus Fjellström ~ Exercises in Estrangement / Gebrauchsmusik
Exercises in Estrangement and Gebrauchsmusik were Marcus Fjellström‘s first two albums, originally released on Lampse in 2005 and 2006. Listening to them now, in pristine new editions from Miasmah, it’s remarkable to consider how contemporary ~ even futuristic ~ they

Marcus Fjellström ~ Skelektikon
To enter Skelektikon is to enter a world of dark fantasy. The elegant video for “Hermitage” (directed by Marcus Fjellström himself) is drenched in dark shadows and simultaneously informed by Kafka and Grimm. Strange creatures and contraptions interact as the moon rises diagonally
