Swedish musician Mattias Lagerkvist takes his avant-garde lo-fi approach to the next level on Mover, the new album by his murkla project. His previous effort Leviata was inspired by the mysteries of Eulisis, but this time he plunges into darkness, stumbling upon a bad news bird (The Glowing Duck) and grappling with the concept of a 24-hour cycle of noise (A Circadian Hymn).
Amidst a stack of field recordings that sound like crap on purpose, white noise and unrelenting drones Lagerkvist creates an alternate universe where humankind is insignificant, a tiny speck on the face of Mother Nature. Life on Earth will adapt and survive, because time is not of the essence to do so. Mover is bleak and foreboding, but like a major trainwreck it is impossible to look away from it.
Mover is released via Terrorific Rekords. Buy it (cassette, digital) from his website. Release date: June 9.
