three of stockholm's most stellar new artists, karl (aka silverarken), mattias (aka ekolali) and martin (aka sand circles) get together here on a collaborative effort of two intricate side long pieces. the instrumentation (two synths and guitar) is inevitably going to draw comparisons to emeralds, which is not totally unwarranted, but to which i would add add a much more driving trance-kraut feel, placed more in the vein of their european contemporaries such as hans dens or stefan kushima. perfect soundtrack to look out the window on crystal clear nights aboard the high-speed rail. outside, the weather is warm but the snow has not yet melted. mylar-bejewelled art by taraka larson.
