LARSEN — Rever

"Larsen's ideology seems to be arcane and extreme (though I'm not clear on all the details), and from what I could glean when I recorded their album in their hometown Torino, Italy, they operate as some sort of hermetic cult/collective. With electric guitars, accordion, organ, bass guitar, drums and percussion, their voices, a trumpet or trombone, and an occasional handmade tape loop, Larsen work and work themselves into the core of the rhythm and sounds they generate. Grooves begin with a certain feel and transmute entirely by the time they wring the essence into its final shape, which is what you hear, in edited form, on Rever." [M. Gira.]
