Kr 60  -  € 5.84

Featuring: Kjell Runar Jenssen, Per Gisle Galåen, Lasse Marhaug, Fredrik Ness Sevendal

Description: "A live recording stretched over 2 sides from Lasse Marhaug & cohorts, no rest for the wicked here... Sprawling, octane-fueled sludgy noiserock and there's no room for air... A relentless attack on the senses, I have rarely heard them as full-on as this. Punk rock like nothing else, this recording from 2006 blackens all frequencies and leaves no room for thought, not that you need any either... File alongside Hototogisu, Skullflower and dictaphone tapes of Sunn O))) at double speed..." - Gold Soundz

Dedicated to crazy aces everywhere. Limited edition of 50 copies.

Lasse Marhaug "Camellia Sinensis" 4 x cassette / 64 page book deluxe box-set
Tape Rape Records (2010) - RAPE 009

Kr 270  -  € 26.26

Description: "Camellia Sinensis" is a 4 x cassette / 64 page book deluxe box-set by Norwegian noise artist Lasse Marhaug. This release marks the 20th anniversary of Marhaug as a recording artist (in reference one of the tracks is titled "20 Years Of Nothing"), and features all new studio material recorded over the last two years in Oslo. The eight 15 minute pieces that make up "Camellia Sinensis" are all full-on harsh noise, using different techniques and instrumentation (guitar, turntables, scrap metal, objects, etc.) to create a varied selection of material. But the music is only half of "Camellia Sinensis", as the box comes with a 64 page book of illustrations, photographs, drawings and texts, designed by Marhaug. The book is loosely divided into chapters that mirror the themes of the titles from the cassettes. There is also an interview with Marhaug conducted by Mikko Aspa, dealing with cassette culture, originally published in #1 of the Special Interests fanzine. The four cassettes are pro-duplicated with label printing, and the book is printed on glossy paper. Each book is numbered and signed by Marhaug. There will be no reissue of this material. Only 100 copies made.

Jan-M. Iversen/Abhorrent Beauty "Outdoor Activities" CDR
TIBProd. (2010) - TIBCD119

Kr 45  -  € 4.38

Featuring: Jan-M. Iversen & Abhorrent Beauty

Description: ...the release by Jan-M. Iversen and the for me unknown Abhorent Beauty, who seems to be also from Norway. I'm not sure if the title is to be taken in a literal way, i.e. wether these are outdoor activities captured and processed by electronic means, but somehow I wouldn't be surprised to know if it is. Its music without a real start, nor a real ending, but somehow just one long string of sounds. Abstract sounds that is, we aren't to know what is going on here. Which is fine of course. It turns the music into quite an abstract form of ambient drone music - more experimental than it usually is. The second part of the title track dies out over a long time, which perhaps is nice, but its also a bit too long. It could have been ten minutes shorter, but with a similar ending. That aside the four pieces here are actually highly enjoyable and make a great background music or environmental piece - inside or outside. Review by Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

Jazkamer "Musica Non Grata" CD
Pica Disk (2010) - pica015

Kr 103  -  € 10.00

Featuring: Lasse Marhaug, John Hegre, Jean-Philippe Gross

Description: The February edition of Jazkamer's 2010 monthly CD-series. "Musica Non Grata" is a feedback-fest. Armed with guitars and analogue synths and an arsenal of amps, Hegre, Gross and Marhaug locked themselves into Duper Studios in Bergen, exploring how feedback-timbre sounds like when recorded on an analogue 24 track 2" tape-machine. The three long tracks that makes "Musica Non Grata" are slow-moving long-form meditations on feedback that will be bliss for a select few and hell for most listeners. February is not an easy month. CD in digipak cover. Photos by Martín Escalante.

Mindy Misty vs Europ Europ "Mindy Misty vs. Europ Europ" LP
Handmade Records / Etch Wear (2010) - HMR012 - EW22

Kr 90  -  € 8.75

Featuring: Kenneth Amundsen, Roy Amundsen, Sigve Gunnarskog, Gunerus Engvall, Trond Harald Jensen, Mr Europ, Mr Etch, Mr Mod

Description: Finally available on vinyl! Two stray dogs unite to create a monster. Though the two are easily separated in classical genres from Mindy Misty's melodic indie to Europ Europ's noisy neo-pop, one does not need to stretch far for similarities. Hailing from the Oslo and Cologne sub-scenes respectively, mutual grounds are clearly present in the spirit of independent music and arts as well as the improvisational elements in each of their musical efforts. In October '07 the two bands joined forces for a single show in Oslo. The buzz was an obvious affirmation of their collaborative potential. Teaming up again in November with a recording studio booked for a weekend, the 7 piece hammered out and recorded 15 tracks from a previously non-existing set. Inevitably the prolific studio session is now being released as a studio album. Ten tracks made it to the final mix, only due to the time limitations of the LP format. More sounds from this fruitful collective is a safe bet. Kramer of Galaxie 500, Butthole Surfers, etc. has mastered the album at Noise Miami. A strange chaotic brew of noise, punk and clever pop aesthetics.
