More Info

svær is a solo project by a french musican currently based in brussels, belgium. we discovered him nearly three years ago when he was the opening act for tim hecker in brussels. based on layers of guitars, his excellent first album "muted people" released in 2020 seriously confirmed our hopes

"And finally, there is svær, from France, but currently residing in Brussels. In 2020 he released his debut, 'Muted People' and his three pieces are for deceased dogs, 'Laika', 'Loukanikos' and 'Hachikō'. All dogs go to heaven, svær says (What happens to cats? Or people who are afraid of dogs? I know a few of the latter). I understand that svær plays the guitar and undoubtedly uses many sound effects to arrive at that gritty guitar sound that was popular once upon some time ago. Taalem learned about svær when he opened for Tim Hecker; perhaps that may serve as a pointer? Especially in 'Loukanikos' the digital processing plays a very big part. On either side of 'Loukanikos', the other two offer a much more mellow ambient tapestry of long spun sounds on the guitar, lo-fi electronics and sadly too short." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
