Synopsis

Album Description

Hochenkeit, a Portland quartet which includes two former Irving Klaw Trio members, create a unique acoustic/electric/electronic hybrid. Mysterious percussive drones, moving Near East folk melodies, Krautrock-inflected noise collages, and electronic daze alternately float and creep. Theremin, harmonium, cumbus (a Turkish banjo-mandolin) and analog electronics are fully integrated with the guitar and percussion; this deep-water / deep-space exploration is one fertile love note.

It's ok

"The soundscapes are nice, but it seems as though the musicians aren't quite proficient with the traditional instruments used on the record. They play these instruments as if they were guitars, depleting the potential of their vision. Or maybe they were just drunk..."
