A Story Of Rats / Hellvete split c44
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A Story Of Rats is back on Eiderdown after his killer LP from last year. More synth creep wizardy and this time Garek Druss’ synths and vocals are accompanied on the journey by Mr. James Woodhead (Elemental Chrysalis/At The Head OF The Woods) on guitar, voice, and bells. “The Chariot and The Wooden Spear” is an emotional tractor beam of sound, pulling the listener with slight drum pulses along a meandering path thru vales of both beauty and grimnitude. An amazing collaboration by two treasures of the Pacific Northwest’s deep vibes scene.
Hellvete is Glen Steenkiste’s solo gig, when not on the job destroying minds and Duvel bottles as a principal member of Belgian psych-improv rockers Silvester Anfang II. Over the course of an outstanding LP on KRAAK and multiple label outings on various formats, Hellvete has distilled his psychotropic ur-folk sound into tasty slabs of acoustic/electric drone. Alternately comforting and suffocating, these pieces created with bowed banjo, harmonium, tampura, and Casio leave the listener with the experience of shaking hands with the ghost of Angus MacLise at the crossroads of Annapurna and some nearly-forgotten Flemish forest.
