Label: Happiest Place
スウェーデン地下界の激レア音源が初復刻!!Whitehouse、The Residents、Nurse With Wound、Throbbing Gristleの影響下1986年に活動をスタートしたインダストリアルバンドEngurdetz。88年出版のオリジナルは凄まじい額で取引されている、このバンドの3本目のカセット作[Sillmjolke]がオリジナルアートワークそのままにLP化。聞いての通りスーモラスな要素とひしゃげたテクスチャーで仕上げられた面白カッコイイ内容であり、フランスのKlimperei的なトイポップ・ミニマルやら、「コカコーラ」というフレーズをテープで反復するボイスものまで、意味不明な要素も魅力的な全14のショートトラック。A4インサート付き。
Engürdetz perhaps weren’t a known name to the vast music devouring public - but for a brief period in time & to a scene of chosen few, they were a name associated with raw, gut-opening & kill em' all industrial mayhem.
Made up by the duo of Drajan (Brainbombs, Diskad, Orchestra Of Constant Distress a.o.) & Lanchy (Brainbombs, Totalitär, Swinehood a.o.).
With only three extremely limited cassettes released between 1986-1988 they managed to maintain a place in Swedish industrial history - connected to acclaimed & contemporary names such as Lille Roger (later Brigher Death Now) & Arvid Tuba.
’Sillmjölke’ differed from the duo’s previous outputs. The tracks had moved closer into the formula of a ”standard” song formula & the influences from British industrialists such as Whitehouse had become more apparent, along with sections that made your mind venture to the freer & ambient sides of Swell Maps (even if they didn’t necessarily know who Swell Maps were at the time).
For the first time ever, this last effort from one of Sweden’s originators of True Swedish Industrial will be widely available on vinyl & digitally.
