Comment: Samuel Andrè aka Ieva's 10-track
issue is a beast. It is like a dragon with many heads which are to
shake and burst flames from their unfathomable throttles. It starts
off in a ghastly droning way by using poignant concrete music
samples, microscopic noises, vocal samples of unknown origin and
hissing electro-acoustic shards to design something truly stunning
and memorable. On the other side, it is a sort of ambient music and
clearly chatting up with anonymity. It might remind you the first
three albums by Tim Hecker. Later on, the (dis)course of Ieva's music
turns into something surprising because it will be the sort of
post-rock though a weird and staggering one. More profoundly, it
chimes like being played by hippies from the 22nd century full of
magic, elemental touch and power of nature. Being obviously more
educated and sophisticated than nowadays rabid feminist and
neo-Marxist crap imbued with useless exaggerations, warped political
correctness and artificial restrictions. It is the philosophy of
escapism being something natural and organic and fairly appealing. It
can be considered a sort of rock music though with some reservations
because other stylistic elements are there around ready to intervene.
Let's listen to
Implants,
it is a spacey jangle pop with glitches and mystical singing of
unknown language. It showcases a perfect balance between experimental
and affectionate approach. Musically it slightly reminds me of
Paavoharju's
Laulu Laakson Kukista
(2008,
Fonal).
Later on, it turns towards the emotionally more buried and hushed
approach the album started with. In a nutshell, the result is an
excellent issue not only in the world of post-rock and ambient world
but in overall. The issue is a part of the discography of a finest
one, Test Tube.
