ENCOMIAST: Self-Titled

encomiastThis is unreleased, early, re-edited or remastered tracks: after 6 full lengths, 2 eps and a bunch of compilations, why not go back to the potential of the earliest works. This has the sweep, grandeur, and open ambience of a soundtrack - and the haunting, minimal, creepy music suggests the soundtrack to little girls digging graves below an enormous, beautiful sky, as elaborate, creeping monsters slowly crawl, or float past, unconcerned. Threat is never realized, tension spins out beauty, the music is always a background, never a performance, making it inevitably near to the subconscious. With all its vague but inevitable influence and pull. This is a mood not a story, but the story is drastically altered in moody drift :: Encomiast/Self-Titled - (lensrecords/Cargo).

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
