Label: Pomperipossa Records - prlp11

待望の4thアルバム、激激高内容、お早めに！！ C. M. von Hausswolffの娘Anna von Hausswolffが2015年に始動したPomperipossa Records。英Touchレーベルの創設者の一人Mike Hardingと、早い段階からその周辺に関わっていたMark Van Hoenによる"Drøne"の3年振りとなる4thアルバム。LAFMS系バンドSmegmaのメンバーNour Mobarakや、2019年Touchからのソロリリースで話題となった女性音楽家Bana Haffar等6名がボイスで参加、それらがバイオリン、電子オルガン、チェロと共に、もはやオブスキュアでドロッドロなコラージュの塊として提示される最高にクールな一枚です。Fossil Aerosol Mining Projectにも繋がる部分があります。大推薦。

The 4th album by drøne, (Mark Van Hoen & Mike Harding), is the 3rd for Anna von Hausswolff's label, Pomperipossa Records. Featuring Zachary Paul on violins, Charlie Campagna (bass and ‘cello) and Katt Newlon on ‘cello, the strings add lush, warm layers to a darker, edgier sound. Gabi Strong debuts on guitar and the voices of a host of vocalists inc. Claire Belhassine, Celia Eydeland, Bana Haffar, Pepa Ivanova, Nour Mobarak & Brisa Romero.

With the trademark drøne sounds of static, radio voices, field recordings, modular synthesizer and found sounds, recording chance sounds right up to the final mix add to the dynamism and energy of the album.

This albums includes a bonus track, black stone, featuring Zachary Paul & Gabie Strong, and a video which you can see here: field.nu/drone/blackstone

Scream - its all you can do now. Overwhelming, scatter-gun information delivery has us confused, bowel churningly fearful and appalled at the nature of the changing times. We are biologically, psychologically and emotionally able to cope with slow evolutionary change, but struggle with revolutionary, violent distortion or mutation. This leaves us anxious and even desperate for a firmer footing. Fight or flight.

The Stilling, a phenomenon whereby the wind speed on the planet seems to be slowing down for no known scientific reason, explores this state of discomfort and perplexion.

Time spins. The glass is falling…
