aa (sweden) #aa 04 cd

the skull defekts “open the gates of mimer (live at norberg) 2006-01-10” compact disc

open the gates of mimer (live at norberg) 2006-01-10

skull defekts freakout!!! debut album on aa (not to be confused with dilloway’s aa; totally diff. imprint) from henrik rylander and joachim nordwall, with special guests lasse marhaug & thomas ekelund...

aa press release...

the skull defekts
title: open the gates of mimer
ref: aa04
format: cd (thick, heavy, hand-printed cover, limited edition of 500 copies)

the skull defekts is a newly-formed outfit from gothenburg, sweden, which features ex-members of union carbide productions, kid commando, cortex, anticimex and lpc. the core of the group is none other than henrik rylander and joachim nordwall (both respected solo artists in their own right). among the countless guests and collaborations, they have worked with such contemporary legends as norwegian noise god lasse marhaug and japanese ex-can singer damo suzuki, with whom they toured scandinavia in early 2005.

the sound of the skull defetks ranges from intense noise to rhythmical hypnotic sounds with heavy drones. this is meaty monotonous math rock and advanced noise experiments at its best.

this is a limited edition live document from sweden's norberg festival and features henrik rylander, joachim nordwall, thomas ekelund and lasse marhaug. this is best described as a 55+ minute performance piece, which comes in hand-printed and numbered covers made by jeff mueller at dexterity press (chicago, il). late 2006 will see a full-band, full-length album on aa, a split lp with wolf eyes and russell haswell for fang bomb and another split lp with the providence avant rockers made in mexico for phono-statique (australia).

conspiracy (belgium) #core 052 cd

the skull defekts “blood spirits & drums are singing” compact disc

unholy drums are singing
rhythm is the key
the secret
a skull defekt
the sound
white lights burning eyes

entirely confusing record by the skull defekts (joachim nordwall, henrik rylander, jean-louis huhta, & daniel fagerström) - confusing in that this particular album is scarily close to a jon spencer blues explosion-esque rock-band extrapolation with bits of noise augmenting the overall dynamic, not a free-form noise-as-the-centerpiece affair.

conspiracy press release...

the skull defekts
blood spirits & drums are singing
conspiracy core052

blood spirits & drums are singing is the skull defekts first record recorded in a professional studio. it is also their first one for the avant rock sound, previous releases included heavy sound experimenting, doom variations and electronic noise stuff. it is all about the rhythm. the circle, repetition. the sound. the noise. sweat. funk. sex. the skull defekts sound is a beast going for your brain, feet and the place in between. beware.

the skull defekts was formed by henrik rylander and joachim nordwall in early 2005 when nordwall’s band kid commando decided to end their eight-year carreer as knights of the sweatiest avant rock existing. rylander had been experimenting with feedback for a few years after the death of the infamous swedish garage rock outfit union carbide productions where he was the pulse, rhythm and founding member. quickly they teamed up with legend jean-louis huhta who’s been a key character in the swedish underground music scene since the mid 80’s, and the quartet was complete when daniel fagerström joined after eric olofsson left the band after the recording of blood spirits & drums are singing.

inspired by bands like section 25, lungfish, pil, 23 skiddoo, arthur russel, cabaret voltaire, a certain ratio, brain bombs, dub, noise, funk, and tribal ritual drumming – the skull defekts are kings of their own sound. and my god. the sound.

fang bomb (sweden) #fb 0001 lp

wolf eyes / the skull defekts “yes, i am your angel” long playing record

wolf eyes - "negative space" [14:17]
the skull defekts - "feedback between skulls while sitting in a room" [24:32]

last copies...

ah yes... this one’s a contender... a gorgeous milky-white split lp between current teen-titans wolf eyes (trio lineup of olson / connolly / young) and up-and-coming skandi-skorn unit skull defekts (here working as a duo of joachim “ideal / kid commando / alvars orkester” nordwall and henrik “traditional arrangements of feedback” rylander...)

wolf eyes side: mid-high oscillations encasing some fine, subtle sheet-metal/delay-pedal spazz-out... slowly the goat’s horns begin braying off in the distance before the bottom drops out and it’s all controlled feedback arc-gestures & the occasional click (are those... cd skips? on a record?) the word i would use to descrive the piece overall would have to be mellow - not one normally associated with w.e. but damn if it isn’t one of the most carefully considered bits in their discomnibus...

skull defekts side: an slown-down, almost dancehall “beat” opens the side with occassional harsh noise punctuations (in fact, if you play this at 45rpm you could probably mix it w/some bug riddims) - super minimal/repetitive & engrossing track, reminiscient of a noisier version of the first “various artists” 12” on fatcat. aside from the filtered feedback/noise, this really wouldn’t have been out of place on a mille plateaux lp ca. 1998. plus, i’m using conjecture to glom that the s.d. title is a loose lucier reference, and that’s never a bad signifier...

yes, it’s limited. yes, the wolf eyes side is good, especially if you’re feel the not-just-totally-full-on-harsh-noise phase they’re currently going through. yes the s.d. side is very good. yes, i have a good amount of copies; probably enough to last through the end of the summer (but these days; i’m getting less and less sure of my “predictive buying” abilities - 47 copies sold of the neon gallery marclay lp in one week anyone?)

fang bomb press release...

released march 20:th:

wolf eyes / the skull defekts
yes, i am your angel
lp, white vinyl
fb001

a dark split lp battle featuring noise gigants wolf eyes and experienced swedish newcomers the skull defekts. wolf eyes needs no further introduction, and neither would the skull defekts, had you already known the musical history of these men, ranging from union carbide productions and kid commando to alvars orkester, as well as anticimex, cortex, and lucky people center. hear feedback and rhythm merge and/or collide, slowly.

a recorded by wolf eyes.
b recorded by henrik rylander & joachim nordwall in studio dental,
göteborg, sweden on january 11, 2006.

ideal (sweden) #ideal 039 cd

henrik rylander / leif elggren “gottesdienst” compact disc

gottesdienst (20:20)
gottesdienst (remix by the idealist) (10:28)
gottesdienst (remix by c.p.u.) (11:32)

2006 release ; a great bit of pan-generational magic from elgaland-vargaland’s leif elggren and sweden’s henrik rylander ... some of this feels like pita’s “get out” (pretty, plundered orchestral music run through the harsh-noise / distortion ringer) only with a certain text-sound angle (elggren’s voice, i’m assuming, is all but buried under a wall of processing) ...

ideal press release...

»gottesdienst«
cat. no. ideal039
year 2006
format cd
info 500 copies in oversized cardboard cover

rylander & elggren are kings of uneasy listening and chaos! but hidden within is beauty. this is a powerful experience of sound and two of sweden's most uncomfortable artists...

henrik rylander (ex-union carbide productions, also active in the skull defekts and leif elggren (krev, firework edition and the sons of god) at spire live in masthuggskyrkan. curated by mike harding of touch. part of gothenburg art sounds 2005. this long piece was executed at an extreme volume and it was seriously painful to experience the damned thing! but here it has mysteriously become very listenable and pulsatingly rhythmical. it is a truly powerful piece by two of swedens finest cutting age sound artists. the cd also features two remixes by the idealst and sound terrorist c.p.u.

about the artists:

henrik rylander is a gothenburg-based sound and visual artist working in the fields of noise, intense avant garde rock and photography. he was the drummer of the infamous and retarded garage rock band union carbide productions and is currently in the newly formed primal rock band the skull defekts. his photography is clinical and documentative, and as clinical is his feedback solo works - as heard on the "traditional arrangements of feedback" album for ideal.

leif elggren is based in stockholm and king of elgaland-vargaland together with cm von hausswolff, and is running the firework edition for the most brave swedish sound art on tasty cd's and vinyl and is also publishing beautiful books and prints. his own works are extremely focused and is ciruclating around themes as power, religion, life & death. together with kent tankred he is one of the sons of god, a great performance and noise duo.

exactly the sort of creaking morass you’d think this would amount to, yet somehow even more mystery-oriented ; excellent stuff !!!
