Bleep

Varg of Northern Electronics and Michel Isorinne of Acronym have teamed up for this electronic Swedish supergroup, whose first LP blends ethereal Scandinavian beats with the ambient fog of The Caretaker. ‘Haersi’ sounds like Brian Eno if he were trapped in a fjord, all pearly noise, waves and creaking debris, while ‘Tobohäxan På Ramunderberget’ echoes Hype Williams with its single synth refrain and Dictaphone fuzz. Eerie, intimate sounds from the far reaches of Europe that feel more precious than any souvenir you could bring back.
