VANCE ORCHESTRA - Organizing the Evidence

Format: mCD-R Label & Cat.Number: Taalem alm 129 Release Year: 2019 Note: what a wonderful surprise: after a (too) long break the dutch "exotic / mysterious drone plunderphonic & more" duo is back with this 3 track EP, three experimental drone collages with a certain rawness and surprising obscurity... "This EP might too grating and irritating to be ambience or even drone music, though those elements are evident in Vance’s DNA..." [Howard Stelzer / Vital Weekly] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €5.50 More Info active from 1996 to 2005 (releases on noise museum, ee tapes, waystyx, drone records...), both members resurrected VANCE ORCHESTRA a couple of years ago after being involved in other projects: (ad)VANCE(d) for mars, the dear listeners for robert. now they're back together for this strange and addictive 3" in three parts full of mysterious sounds... https://taalem.bandcamp.com/album/organizing-the-evidence-alm-129 "“Organizing the Evidence” is the first release from Dutch duo Vance Orchestra in a rather long time. They officially called it quits back in 2005, splitting into solo projects (ad)VANCE(d) and The Dear Listeners. Apparently, they reunited in 2018 to record this short, strange mini-album of roughly dissonant organ and synthesizer crawl with a seemingly live-in-one-go direct-to-tape atmosphere. The whole mess is smeared with in-the-red production overload that suggests an enervating instability, as if “…Evidence” might veer out of the players’ control into chaotic noise at any moment. The Orchestra keeps their fried circuits reigned in for the most part, but they don’t let up the pressure or implied threat of looming disaster. This EP might too grating and irritating to be ambience or even drone music, though those elements are evident in Vance’s DNA. If the group records more, I’ll be curious to hear where they go from here." [Howard Stelzer / Vital Weekly]
