Get in TouchMore Info
Projekt aus Irland mit melancholisch-orchestralen Klängen,
sehr ruhig und langsam und versunken, elektronische Sounds und klassisch-instrumentelle verschmelzen (Cello, Bass, akutische Gitarre, Piano..). Hat uns z.B. an MITCHELL AKIYAMA erinnert...
"It's strange how thin on the ground decent electronica albums are these days. I'm sure it was only a couple of years ago when their seemed to be a constant stream of releases from a mystical well in the stars. Most of the old labels have now dried up and when releases do trickle out they are underwhelming at best, so I guess it's left to the newcomers to show us how to get excited again. Enter Osaka, a fresh young label from Ireland who have dedicated their lives to divining for the best electronic flecked music they can lay their grubby mitts on, and with releases like Silver Thread of Ghosts they're on the right track. Hulk is the pseudonym of Dublin-based producer Thomas Haugh (of Static Caravan fame, not Bruce Banner -- although the green cover may encourage you to think otherwise) and on this album he has managed to achieve what many struggle over for years. Unsurprisingly in this post-millennial musical climate, Haugh has fused his subtle electronic elements with acoustic sounds, most notably cello and guitar. This is no mere folktronica excursion though, Haugh manages to merge the sounds together seamlessly and created soundscapes worthy of comparison with Colleen, Marsen Jules or even Murcof. A beautifully addictive collage of endearing noise, Silver Thread of Ghosts is a worthy introduction to a label which promises small and lovely things in the future." [press release]
