Comment: this bunch of 13 tracks by a Russian artist
(Eredel) is a sublime sonorous pavement to imaginatively trudge along
the picturesque landscapes of Iceland, because of that all the song
titles and cover print are Icelandic. Additionally, the music also
seems to be partly inspired by the country's leading artists like
Sigur Ros's sublimely bombastic orchestrations and múm's awkward and
austere yet perky electronic grooves and splattering glitches (the
very preference of mine). If to go beyond the borders of Iceland one
can find out resemblances with the likes of Hood, and To Rococo Rot.
On the other side, the picture is even more wide – the listener can
hear abrasive, broken drum beats and ennobling digital noise torrents
as the soil for melodies to effectively grow up on and sparse
incantations on a piano and a cathedral-alike organ led droning
beauty. Additionally, let's take a track entitled
Vorkoma –
it is headed by a contagious melody gear being propelled by a
swirling chaos of arousing noises coming through enchantingly
configured labyrinths. The artist looks a bit back while pushing the
music further while staying vigorously balanced between variety and
consistency. The wondrous outing is a part of the discography of Elpa
Music, a solid Latvian record label (2006-2013).
