Comment: this 6-notch issue reminds me somehow of an early childhood while spending my summertime by a grandma when on evenings the train used to bypass at a distance of 4 miles away. There is something secretly buried and unveiled and achingly longing in these drones as if being filtered and phased on physical distance and emotive memories. The Portuguese trio's music interacts perfectly with the emotive side of a listener due to changing adeptly sounds from still to tumultuous, from silent to moderately penetrative. Beside the fact, the artist used to catch the attention on changing intervals between disparate intense sonic impulses and effects. It is truly interesting in spite of its slightly austere content. One can see elements coming inside out, and vice versa. The blissful outing on artistic terms is a part of the library of an imprint from the Netherlands, Moving Furniture Records (being a home for such feted artists as Merzbow, Machinefabriek, Frans de Waard among others). For Haarvöl, for sure, it is virtually the domestic records today. The trio will soon have issued a brand new one, Ridge Of Humming Spoils. On 24th of April 2020 on Moving Furniture Records.
