inca ore - birthday of bless you

12" @ not not fun records | köp skivan här



nytt fantastiskt album från eva saelens, ä.v.k. inca ore; en av de stora inom nedtonad abstrakt dronish experimentell musik. kompositioner ofta i det kortare formatet (som närmare sig mer konventionella poplåtlängder) med bräcklig sång nedbakad under lager av angenämt skimmer i en olycksbådande ljudbild: samtidigt vackert och litet skrämmande.

detta säger inca ore och not not fun records respektive:

"birthday of bless you is my new album on not not fun records. it is my meditation on feminine sacred invention, on sun worship in the moments before earth disintegration, on the proud miracle of creation in a trash-proliferation era. i am really proud of this record. it is equal sincere and serious, and there is also a merle haggard cover. i was smiling a lot while i recorded it, even though sad things were sometimes happening."

"this one has been a dream since the start. literally, as eva saelens wrote us one day out of the clearest blue saying she had a dream one night that she sent us her brand new album and that we fell in love with it and released it. well the dream’s become reality, as her latest spirit quest in pursuit of the inmost voice dazzled us instantly and lingered like déjà vu. an 11-song slideshow of psychedelic secrecy, rippling whispers, and private ghost ballads, birthday of bless you finds inca ore at her most lithe and longing, shifting focus from microscopic mood meditations to wide-lens surrealist romance fantasies in a heartbeat, then back again. a black-lit bedroom soon forgotten, a midnight garden of lucid sound, an lp to have and to hold."

detta är sannerligen hörlursmusik.
