Label: Chocolate Monk - CHOC453

廃盤。UKベースのマルチインストゥルメンタリストAlistair Strachanが率いる、バイオリン、フルート、クラリネット等、生楽器を中心に用いた興味深い演奏をするトリオユニットPsanck。2017年に同Chocolate Monkより発表した1stが個人的に非常に好みだったので、今回の2ndも迷わず入荷！！　やはり何処に落ち着くでも無いフラフラと漂い続けるスタイルがユニークであり、今回はコラージュやフィールドレコーディングなども持ち込み進化した形を聞かせてくれます。60部限定。



"Were the second ChocoMo album by Kev Nickells (violin voice, objects), Chris Parfitt (flute, clarinet, percussion, electronics), and Al Strachan (cornet, electronics, field recordings, found sound) presented to you, me, and the spastic Mennonite as the soundtrack to a film about a sleep-deprived desert castaway struggling with mixed feelings about a residual tail, no one would blame either of us for asking if the rescue UFO at the end seemed realistic. Which is something, given how condemnation of the other is one of our era’s most versatile social currencies. Not to oversell it, but the trio’s ten tracks here are kind of astounding in the consistent economy of their journeys from disparate zones such as distressed whining, daxophonic yoib, synthetic dream-theory, tense tribal curlicues, pizzeria tragedy, and crepuscular harmonics. Without a forced or unnatural move anywhere, Psanck II slips unscathed between the ribbons of razor wire that separate blue chip avant garde chamber ensembles from the nonmusical and unwashed ineptitudes who jostle household objects for a living. Personal experience allows me to assure anyone who may wonder whether residence in the latter is as comfortable a hometown as one could ask for (it is); still, Psanck’s epistles from the outside world are more welcome than guilt-free cinnamon rolls." - Seymour Glass
