hertta lussu ässä
s/t
ind 089 lp

gnomic no-fi plunk, wheeze, rattle and moan courtesy of an unfortunately monikered (well...at least to english language readers anyway...it probably means something just lovely in finnish...) supergroup comprised of jonna karanka aka kuupuu, laura naukkarinen aka lau nau and merja kokkonen aka islaja that draws from the seemingly eternal well of stoned detuned mischief that feeds the viaducts of the finnish underground. the sheer density of acts positing variants on this same post-amon duul / siloah-like freakout stylee there gives rise to questions of bandwagon hopping, but that’s a discussion for another time. for the here and now, this first release of theirs is a choice manifestation of heavy-lidded third-mind acoustic weirdity that’s as ungainly as it is mystically / chemically blasted.

this is contemporary music. in the new age whose keynote is the destruction of old forms and the birth of new spirit our ears are still constantly insulted with the musical establishment's attempts to "hold on" to the old traditions whatever the cost. music is neat and clean and void of real life. we say fuck those people, we just want to blow. folk music is dead, it got too fond of itself. jazz is dead, it got too lost in itself. rock is screaming its brains out trying to make up for the loss. but there is a new sound known only to a few, a sound of death and conflict and reconciliation and fresh air. it fits no categories, it just is. and that is what we are presenting you with, a whole sound. not clever parts, no individual achievement, this is the sound of a group soul being born ..

a pervasive electronic gating effect dominates throughout ; i can’t help but be reminded of countrymen (actually, marc’s fellow hamburgers) faust (think : the pulsing noises that comprise “krautrock” before the drum lift-off) - always a good sign ...

[027] black to comm "fractal hair geometry" lp


black to comm is the solo venture of dekorder label boss marc richter. having released two and a half albums on his own label he is slowly establishing himself as one of the more prolific drone artists out there with a forthcoming album on the american digitalis label, a collaborative cd with datashock on ikuisuus, a 7" on the irish trensmat label and a collaboration with xela in the works

"fractal hair geometry“ is richter's most refined and original work to date, picking up where the electrifying drone works of his monumental double-lp left off. like the last records this album is centered around recordings of a variety of vintage organs. while "wir können leider..." often featured pure harmonium sounds and spacious recordings of chuch organ and mellotron, the new album opts for a more electronic, effects-laden sound, sending an old farfisa compact deluxe and casio sk-5 through an armada of analogue & digital effects pedals. the results are massive one-chord drones layered into dense & ecstatic, flickering & pulsating clusters of psychedelic electronic sound. additional wordless vocal effects, hyperventilating & sizzling drum machines and hypnotic violin and guitar noises make for a hyperactive sound that never stands still even though most of the music is pure drones (sometimes consisting of more than 50 recording layers). decidedly simple but gorgeous melodies shine through the mist from time to time, making a black to comm record always much more accessible than your average drone album.

there's even a heavy 4/4 bass drum smuggled into a track dedicated to the late leigh bowery, one of the most enigmatic creative figures of the mid-80's uk club scene (and singer of minty).

guests include jonna karanka (aka kuupuu) on piano, guido möbius on trumpet and current black to comm (live) band members renate nikolaus on violin and ulf schütte (of datashock, aosuke, etc.) adding electronic sounds.

along the lines of the music, seminal german artist oliver ross has created a massive multi-layered neon-coloured collage artwork which is printed on special ultra-heavy cardboard stock.

[018] kuupuu "unilintu" lp

"unilintu" is the second of two vinyl-only lp's on the dekorder label compiling the best material from kuupuu’s first four cd-r and cassette releases, this time presenting a slightly darker and even more coherent sonic vision compared to last year’s gorgeous "yökehrä" lp which we sold out immediately (2nd edition is now available).

here’s what we said about the first lp:

jonna karanka aka kuupuu is one of the main movers of the (deservedly) much hyped finnish psychedelic free folk scene. originally hailing from tampere she is known as a core member of avarus, anaksimandros, kukkkiva poliisi and maniacs dream. additionally, she has recently started hertta lussu ässä with lau nau and islaja and has collaborated with tomutonttu (aka jan anderzen of kemialliset ystävät) and paavi (as lussu ja paavi).

this lp is a beautifull collection of haunting (sometimes spooky) home baked freeform folk songs, strange lo-fi loops, vocal drones and psychedelic cut-ups, made using weirdly tuned plucked and strummed strings, bells, clattery percussion, unidentifiable wind instruments, backwards tape loops and a ton of other noisemakers all played and recorded by herself; accompanied by her distinctive voice (often looped and layered) with vocals sung and whispered in her native finnish language making the whole atmosphere even more haunting and mysterious. jonna karanka creates an intimate space where the listener feels like sitting next to her in a small chamber or outside in the woods where kuupuu sings a lullaby just for him.

[016] kuupuu "yökehrä" lp

jonna karanka aka kuupuu is one of the main movers of the (deservedly) much hyped finnish psychedelic free folk scene. originally hailing from tampere she is known as a core member of avarus, anaksimandros, kukkkiva poliisi and maniacs dream. additionally, she has recently started hertta lussu ässä with lau nau and islaja and has collaborated with tomutonttu (aka jan anderzen of kemialliset ystävät) and paavi (as lussu ja paavi).

"yökehrä" is the first of two vinyl-only lp's on the dekorder label compiling the best material from her first four cd-r and cassette releases, all of which immediately became much sought after collector's items, fetching ridicolous prices on the ebay market.

this lp is a beautifull collection of haunting (sometimes spooky) home baked freeform folk songs, strange lo-fi loops, vocal drones and psychedelic cut-ups, made using weirdly tuned plucked and strummed strings, bells, clattery percussion, unidentifiable wind instruments, backwards tape loops and a ton of other noisemakers all played and recorded by herself; accompanied by her distinctive voice (often looped and layered) with vocals sung and whispered in her native finnish language making the whole atmosphere even more haunting and mysterious. jonna karanka creates an intimate space where the listener feels like sitting next to her in a small chamber or outside in the woods where kuupuu sings a lullaby just for him.

we're proud to say that this has to be one of the most exciting debut albums of the year.

housed in a full colour sleeve with beautifull design / drawings / collage artwork by jonna karanka herself.
