STREET DRINKERS/SKEPPET LP (RTB#58)
RTB is proud to present a split LP with two of the most
promising new acts currently stirring up the Swedish
underground.
Street Drinkers is the solo moniker of Viktor Ottosson
(─ttestupa). Since 2008, he's been laying down his gloomy
patterns to some of the weirdest and most intruiging music
we've heard in quite a while. Based around repetitive
keyboards, tape loops and chanted vocals, Street Drinkers here
delivers 4 tracks with a macabre and sombre mindset.
Atmospheric and heavy on the melancholia with some underlying
gothic tendencies. Regressive, spiteful and just wrong. Crude
recordings with a fidelity not far away from the rotten fuss
of mothership ─ttestupa. Drums on Clouded Sky by Hannes
Norrvide from Lust For Youth/Viking Jews. Previous releases
out on Goaty, Utmarken, Kosmisk VΣg and Sound Holes.
Skeppet from Malm÷ consists of Andreas Malm and Henrik Wallin
(both members of long running project Fria Konstellationen, as
well as heads in charge of the great Kosmisk VΣg imprint).
Their well-recieved debut tape from 2008 was followed by a
split tape with Gothenburgs own Viking Jews in 2009.
Influences are said to be acts like Cluster, Harmonia and La
Dⁿsseldorf, and here they are continuing the relaxed path
taken on the split tape with an even more developed and
refined sound. A long and mesmerizing trip into the sun, and a
truly beautiful take on kraut/kosmische music. The perfect
soundtrack for late summer nights. 2 tracks.
Total playtime of 40 minutes. Artwork by Dan Johansson (Street
Drinkers cover/insert) and Henrik Wallin (Skeppet
cover/insert). 275 copies.
Tracklist:
Street Drinkers: 1. Burning Lie, 2. Secrets, 3. Victim Of
Three, 4. Clouded Sky.
Skeppet: 1. Sargasso, 2. Inσt Landet.
