SVARTE GREINER — Depardieu

"Erik K. Skodvin returns in his murky solo guise Svarte Greiner, with two tracks of crumbling cinematic degradation. One part absurd theatre and one part haunting melancholia, Skodvin takes countless recordings -- stones, wood, water or leaves and layers them over and over each other to leave us with skittering atmospherics and abrasive noise, under which he embeds droning organ sounds or discordant guitar strums. This is devastating acoustic doom, as he explores in his album Knive. Comparable to the edgy soundtracks of Angelo Badalamenti or even the noise-flecked distortion of Machinefabriek." [label info]
