Norse noise. A six-person “trio” comprised of Norwegians in San Francisco. There are two guitarists, two string bassists and two drummers. Sometimes very subtle, reserved, ambient noise—like a ghost in the attic; other times rather chaotic like frogs or even chimps invaded the jam room. Instrumental, experimental. Remotely jazzy. Best tracks: 03, 08 01 V1 (3:55): starts quietly; mild amp noise (later feedback), string bass bow fumbles, drum thump, a bell 02 H1 (2:48): string bass, mild whiny feedback, sizzling percussion 03 V2 (4:23): starts quietly, almost a jazz beat, string bass fumbles, guitar string noise; gets chaotic, then settles down 04 V3 (3:20): mild, but hyper-steady percussion w/ string bass; moaning guitar after about a min, which seems to upset everything very much: results in sporadic cymbal crashes, etc. 05 H2 (2:11): cellophane being unwrapped 06 H3 (4:10): someone vacuuming upstairs while an alarm clock is ringing…and, oh, maybe a UFO hovers outside 07 V/H1 (3:12): a frog on a snare, a goose, handfuls of utensils 08 V/H2 (4:03): boomy bass, spastic/clunky percussion (cymbals, woodblocks), minor guitar feedback & other wonkiness 09 V4 (3:51): clockworks gone haywire; hot guitar feedback at 2 mins 10 H4 (3:34): crunchy noises, zipper-like noises, a bouncing ball on a snare, a 5-year-old bowing a bass, a mechanical man, a bell 11 V5 (9:38): very quiet w/ an odd noise now & again accompanied by bells, tom-tom, skronky guitar, mild feedback, scratchy noises, crunchy noises, later cymbals…really too quiet for radio | ||
