The boiling up bottomless numbness. Slowly disappearing and so suddenly reappearing. A constant vivid
reminder yet as honest as possible. The man from deep river quickly develops between two lonely
desperate individuals, and the savage natives around him turn just as quickly against their own mountain
god. The æillnessÆ is caused by several deeply depressing circumstances and by the intense difficulty of
other sickening circumstances happening around deep river. The underlining of this situation is precise but
not quite naturalistic which has only a very limited influence on the god mountain.
Those lovable Nordic heroes are back with a fourth album of intense listening and shined isolationist
compositions. In doing so, they have issued yet another brief statement in defense of their research:
ôLike another wall of jungle trees Man From Deep River leaves us both stunned and disoriented. It is an
environment of high tension but also with moments of temporary insanity and auditory hallucinations.
Based on a found tape from 1975, which served as guidance for the compositions"
Man From Deep River opens up a new development in their sound. Melodic passages with sweeping
electronics and analogue synthesizers mixed with field recordings and disturbed voices creating a
multifaceted piece.
The Swedish born BJ Nilsen defines his work as "focused upon the sound of nature and its effects on
humans, and the perception of time and space as experienced through sound." He has numerous
recordings on Touch and has collaborated with the likes of Chris Watson, Christian Fennesz, and Z'ev.
The Icelandic citizens Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson and Helgi Thorsson are Stilluppsteypa, whose
electronic abstractions engage absurd theatrics that mar the pristine surface of minimalism.
Limited to 500 copies.
