Extended info
Recorded at andere Baustelle Recording Studio Berlin in Augsut 2009.
Ambient Doom Metal at its finest. No Cat# on cd
might show up later on labels website or maybe not.
LP was released March 20 on Adagio830 and Vendetta
Records. The CD was released sometime after that...
on Bar La Muerte and Broken Spine (possibly)
Over the last few dogs days of summer 2009, Italys
OvO and Canadas Nadja, got together in their
adoptive city of Berlin at Einstrzende Neubautens
andereBaustelle Studio. With engineer Boris
Wilsdorf at the board, each duo began two songs and
had the other duo finish them, Bruno and Stefania
adding heavy, pounding rhythms and harsh, eerie
vocals to Aidan and Leahs ambient textures and
bass-heavy drones.
The album, while still heavy and still retaining
signature sounds of both groups, turned out
groovier and mellower than either band expected.
But this mellowness gives the songs a greater sense
of presence and allows for the intricacies and
nuances of each individuals contributions to be
properly heard. With a final mastering by James
Plotkin, this album sounds simultaneously harsh and
lush, aggressive and warm.
Having coffee after the sessions in the back
garden, a wasp drugged on sugar flew into Leahs
coffee cup and drowned itself, traumatizing
everyone at the table.
