| | | textile (france) #txt 11 lp datashock / shivers “vol. iv” long playing record | february 2008 release ; pair of collaborative burners by a 6-headed lineup featuring members of datashock & brother/sister-act shivers ...
i’ve heard a bunch of things by these guys over the last few years (mostly c/o member pascal hector’s meudiademorte imprint) but nothing this fully realized ; starting with cycling electronics, bongos, & distant flute straight out of an early popol vuh / amon düül i set, we (collectively) progress through a huge wall of distant voices / tones & sparse guitar (listen to the sound-sample) ... really nice !!! |
| | datashock - "vol iv"
there is no constant line-up, as the group is joined by new members every now and then.their music is defined almost entirely by psychedelic multidimensional live-improvisations stemming from 70ies kraut-rock influenced by contemporary electronic music and psychotic dronescapes. as a result we find complex layers of sultry muffled vibrations met by heavy waves of electronic sound experiments and strangely disfigured images. here and there reality-distorting bits of whispers and cut-up voices are woven into the texture of these alien patterns of sound. every step here is like nervously stumbling through the swampy ground of a jungle. here every look is like a secret glimpse at a hidden ghost-train world.
if, however, you would want to use other bands from past and present as a reference, names like tangerine dream or sunburned might come to mind. datashock’s music has a similarly warm and organic feel to it. labels like ‘spooky psychedelic-post-krautfolk’ are at the same time graphic description as well as missing the point altogether. |
