EMSALÖ

Another hoax. In this creation AVARUS collaborators are yielding their inner mind and themselves to the psychedelic atmosphere around them. "Emsalö" released as a limited edition on Troglosound Label in 2013 and re-released digitally via Artsy Records in 2021 possesses such a mysterious, potent dynamo deeply in it. Sounds like they would play the electronic device just like what they bump into in their mind or what they see in front of their eyes under a kind of psychic transformation. The electronic audible combinations sound not unified nor polished but like a randomized improvised sound enumeration.

From the beginning of the A-Side, we get veiled in a challenging improv sound collective featuring non-melodic explosive electronica eccentrica. The first slowtempo percussive texture is vanishing soon and supra-lo-fi disturbed noise area is appearing endless. Even slightly comfortable are repetitive sharp-edged masses of noise in the middle part, but totally inorganic and spiritless. Guess they could see such dreamy, fantastic patterns like the sleeve pic. Sticky sound discharges are sometimes colourful but sometimes monotonous and tedious. Inorganicity gets more serious and more nervous in the B-Side. A sort of sound hoaxter reminds us of the similarity to a hoax pioneer Mittelwinternacht '71.

The more improvisational, less melodious ultra-egocentric noise mess is rather interesting in some sense. But let me say, this 'obscure' creation cannot be recommended for authentic Krautrock fans but for electronic bizarre freaks.
