Torske, Bjorn ~ Kokning A-Library 12 inch LP (33RPM) {Smalltown Supersound}

OK, so a few years ago you might???ve got Norwegian wood from Bjorn Torske???s last album called ???Feilknapp.????? Now, this not-so-kraut kraut rocker delves into all instrumental dub rhythms, minimal electronic tones & yearning playful melodies which seem somewhat psychedelic.?? It???s pleasantly meditative and simultaneously introduces 4/4 beats that thump & pulse in a half pounding wallop which gives the heavenly chimerical sounds an edgier sorta grit.?? Repeating reverb riffs & treated string strums soothe & intrigue.?? Torske is also a techno trickster.?? This dynamite DJ & producer dishes up slightly deranged dance cuts rolling along a mid tempo run.?? Echoing phaser bubbles billow out & about to the funky and staggering semi-skipping dub groove.?? Layering quirky melody with rubbery bass bump, synth strings, infectious rhythms and metronome snap beats is a delectably scrumptious treat.?? Occasionally the dub goes darker & deeper sporadically injecting growling creatures, explosions & chainsaw buzz. Ascending vibraphone tones, lively conga percussion & warped washboard scrubs await you!???? Peel this strange fruit!?????????? ~Curtis Kimby????????????????????
ALL CLEAN INSTRUMENTALS???????????? (Limited to 500 copies)
