Debut vinyl release from Natural Snow Buildings' Solange
Gularte's solo project, Isengrind. Modlitewnik continues
Solange's fantasticly far out occult psych-folk-drone trip
outs, 12 tracks across the length of this LP, considerably
shorter pieces in comparison to her work with Mehdi in Natural
Snow Buildings, Isengrind retains a certain amount of the
sound of the duo, but it is a whole other beast, in many ways
much stranger and darker, but still hauntingly beautiful with
some fantastic blissed out vocal drones, dreamy guitars, and
psyche soaked dark drone zones. Heavyweight vinyl, housed in a
pro-printed full colour fold over sleeve with all 4 panels
featuring stunning artwork by Solange, the inside of the cover
is especially spectacular. One time pressing of approx 600
copies.
norm:
Yeah. You gotta have this baby ain't yer? Solange Gularte is
the multi-talented female half of Natural Snow Buildings, the
arty one whose fantastical & endearing artwork seems to take
their music to another level....which is kind of impossible as
it already sits right at the peak of absorbing, magical
psych-folk & contemporary drone. Go much higher love you'll be
floating on a cloud. As with most stuff from either or both of
those two, the eerie, breathtaking dreamscapes they conjure is
frankly otherworldly, so much so it's difficult to put into
words. Solange concentrates on briefer & quite diverse works
for her first vinyl outing here, shoehorning 12 measured,
cerebral flights of audio fantasy onto one slab of wax. So if
yr collection's bulging, this little morsel won't turn your
room into a vinyl Mr. Creosote like the last NSB thing BR put
out. So, i'm sat here, needing to review other things now.
Problem is, I just can't bring myself to turn off the
headphones. This music is just......perfect. And very, very
special. Enough said.....! Get in now or cry later.
