What we say
This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.
A curious 7" on Fang Bomb has found its way onto the turntable. This is a split between
DEAD LETTERS SPELL OUT DEAD WORDS and RONNIE SUNDIN and is called
'Fuglesang, Astronaut'. I've just played the Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words
side on 45 RPM instead of 33 RPM while I sussed out who the record
was actually by. It sounded pretty fucking cool too. I've now slowed it
down to the appropriate speed and what's
emitting from the speakers is a terribly good drone track. Super dark,
lots of subtle changes and a throbbing sub bass. A scary undertone
running throughout is the icing on the cake for me.
There's even melody hidden amongst the rich layers of sound. I'm loving
this one. On the flip
Ronnie Sundin's track 'Space Is The Place (In Space Nobody Can
Hear Your Demons Mix)' begins with
what sounds like a dog sleeping and then waking up to some fucked up
screeches and then eventually a skull crushing, heavy distorted throb
of noise which is totally
repetitive and therefore utterly cool. The screeches continue and
become more
intense.
What the label says:
European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Christer Fuglesang is part of mission STS-116, known to be the most complex construction flight yet attempted. Fuglesang is the first Swedish astronaut and will, according to recent calculations, be the 1000th person to leave earth.
After departing on the Space Shuttle Discovery and docking with the International Space Station (ISS), Fuglesang will perform two spacewalks, the main purpose of which is to purpose to rewire the ISS. The space stations current electrical system, designed to support the space station during the assembly phase, will be rebuilt and upgraded to support the attachment of new research modules. This, and the delivery of a new solar array system executed by mission STS-115, readies NASA to activate the permanent cooling and power systems of the ISS.
Now... this is worth celebrating, and celebrate we do by releasing this seven inch artifact, proven to carry compositions by two of the most interesting artists around at the moment, international drone pop superstar Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words and minimalist master Ronnie Sundin. |
