| | | dekorder (germany) #dekorder 43 lp iibiis rooge “s/t” long playing record - skirling birl
- yellow breeze
- coro-coro
- dancing in the sun (fun has just begun)
| may 2010 release ; excellent collaborative lp between neil “astral social club” campbell and the shadowy, domestic high wolf ...
while i’m a lifer for neil’s various transgressions, the recent high wolf tape on krayon was something a revelation, and here the two do go town via an assortment of pulse-oriented electronic fizzings, culminating in the epic, side-long patrick cowley megamix “dancing in the sun” ... exemplary work !!! |

iibiis rooge
s/t
lp
iibiis rooge is the new superastral duo team bringing together the mysterious high wolf (not not fun records, winged sun) with the seminal talents of mr. neil campbell, better known these days as astral social club (fat cat, vhf, qbico, important, textile, bottrop-boy and countless other labels around the globe) and (ex-) member of vibracathedral orchestra, a-band, and other obscure/legendary outfits.
the new self-titled lp is the debut album of the band (don’t call it "project") combining modern psychedelic high wolf jams with the fucked up yet refined electronics and techno-infused beat choppery of the astral social club – the result being a lot more then you might have expected from the two, transcending their combined talents into a multicoloured supernova. the strength of the album is an unexpected pop sensibility and airiness, while still being tighter and more consolidated than their regular solo outfits. even the noisier elements are embedded in loose song structures with a carnivalesque air dominating the whole atmosphere.
while the duo’s solo outings are often camouflaging any melodies in oodles of electronic noises or lo-fi psych jams and hiss this is a fairly different affair with simple melodic textures always dominating the four tracks. the defibration of structures is still apparent but the music is constantly pulling itself together again. where the astral social club is sometimes willingly losing himself in electronic soundscapes and the high wolf’s short & sketchy songs are rarely fully formulated by nature, all the positive aspects of their respective works are combined and complemented in iibiis rooge.
