Sprawling, landmark, world-building comp from German label and compilation masters Kashual Plastik featuring an absolute who’s who of the contemporary international underground. Just check that track list! The focus here is on the kind of lo-fi, mournful bedroom pop / drone / folk experiments that seem to have been sprouting everywhere like mushrooms over the last few years. As much as it’s snapshot of what is going on right now, this comp cannot help but call to mind ancestors like Xpressway’s mammoth ‘Killing Capitalism With Kindness’ set, ‘From Brussels With Love’, ‘Pillows and Prayers’ or the ‘Recommended Records Sampler’. There is so much to enjoy here and it will take a few weeks to get to grips with it all. But early favourites include tracks by some of the less familiar names (Omen, Laure Boer, James & Vanessa and Läuten der Seele) as well as killers from those who have featured here heavily over the past 18 months (Monokultur, Maxine Funke, The Fulmars, Loopsel, Thomas Bush, +++ - the list goes ONNNN). There’s no wooden sleeve to give you splinters and no chicken wire to cut yourself on but Kashal Plastik’s usual heavily conceptual approach to packaging is very much in evidence. This is a lavish 2LP set in a beautifully screen-printed canvas sleeve with foiling and various inserts. Sold out at source. Needless to say, this is not to be missed.. a monster! (Mint / New)
