Disfigured tape music collages on the mighty Förlag För Fri Musik.
New project Drifting is a new transatlantic collaboration between Gothenburg lynchpin Dan Johansson and US noise artist Weston Czerkies together with Julia Bjernelind, whose characteristic vocals are instantly recognisable from Swedish lo-fi powerhouse Amateur Hour.We’re instantly reminded of Sewer Election’s 2022 FFFM colab with vocalist Charmaine Lee - but there’s something more mutilated about Dream Autopsy.It’s smothered in hiss and the stop / start crank of the tape machine, innocent melodies are dismembered and stretched into into a warbling slurry, collaged against billowing gusts of noise.Bjernelind’s vocals and siren-like wail add a welcome human element to the haunted-house opening, before things degrade into a psychedelic slush where it’s too late to turn back.Anyone who’s heard that Musique Concret LP on United Dairies ‘Bringing Up Baby’ and is aware of its HALLUCINOGENIC PROWESS must apply.As good as ever from this lot.(Mint / New - with insert)
