Safiyya for Progressive Electronic or Krautrock

Safiyya are Brad Rose (The North Sea) and Pat Murano (No-Neck Blues Band). They released their debut self-titled album in 2012. Well worth a listen!

Safiyya has a dark soundtrack aspect, with cultic percussion, squiggles
of electricity and high ghost tones that come over as somewhere between
Amon Duul and Family Underground. Indeed, the Kraut quotient is
particularly high, with that same feel for weirdo percussive ritual over
sudden UFO touchdowns and moments of pastoral reflection that was
birthed in the Swiss mountains by Leary, Ash Ra et al but all rendered
with a post-Nurse With Wound surreal studio logic.

	Decimus and Brad Rose make a noise like one of Demdike Stare's bunker techno rituals fed through a possessed sequencer blessed by Nate Young. Edition of 300 housed in fluoro silk-screened jacket by Bright Spot Ink** Safiyya is the converged vision of Pat Murano (Decimus/ No Neck Blues Band) and Brad Rose (The North Sea, Altar Eagle, Digitalis). It is the eleventh edition in Kelippah's revelatory series and the second to involve the spirit of a new collaborator following the K Salvatore missive with his No Neck Blues Band cohort Jason Meagher. In the most sacred meaning of the word, it's a trip. Syncretic sonic ideologies of east and west orbit each other in a lysergic yawn, opening the ground to a wormhole of modular synthesized netherworld eschatology. As the series has progressed the vision has become clearer, the abrasive noise of the early instalments has seceded to a chemical lucidity; it's still incredibly disorienting, but their ears have adjusted to this new, divine spectrum of tones, attuned to the ciphers of antediluvian and ultra-modern lightsound with shamanistic sensitivity. A-side 'Treasurer of the Banu Nadir' feels like one of Demdike Stare's bunker techno rituals fed through a possessed sequencer blessed by Nate Young, and 'Sadd al -Rauha' convects bitter synth tones in stray, blinded formations reminding of a Keith Fullerton Whitman experiment mixed by Ekoplekz at a pagan Gloucester junction of leylines.
