KABOOM KARAVAN - Barra Barra

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Miasmah Recordings MIALP015 Release Year: 2011 Note: exciting album by the Belgian band, mixing filmic Jazz Noir tunes with a pure Sound & Noise approach, atmospheric & stunning & often resulting in repetitive structures.. hard to describe but it sounds really NEW to our ears! Limited vinyl version Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 Warning: Currently we do not have this album in stock! More Info "the belgian collective led by bram bosteels have a history in theatre, film and contemporary dance. they have collaborated with musicians all over the world including miasmah's very own kreng, and released a debut album on mexico's umlo imprint, but this probably only gives a small indicator of what the collective actually sound like. there is something effortlessly surreal about the band, and surrealism is an aspect of art often attempted and very rarely perfected. here bosteels abuses his choice of instruments (and players) to the point where the listener would barely be able to place which instruments were being used at all, in fact at times you'd be hard pressed even to place what sort of music it was. 'barra barra' is a complex album which takes patience to navigate through; you could hear the clanking pre-industrialism of einsturzende neubauten, the slow brooding doom of bohren & der club of gore and the stuttering abstraction of black to comm yet it still feels fresh and distinctly current. unusually the most fitting comparison might be the work of the brothers quay, as the ticking, creaking, stuttering songs feel perfectly matched with these flickering, haunted images. this is what makes the album such an appropriate addition to the miasmah canon, and one that will haunt your dreams (and nightmares) for months to come."
