Label info :
Split album with Volcano the Bear and La STPO. VTB tracks 1-5 and STPO tracks 6-9. Bears and Birds, oh my! One side keeps the hot hot. And the other keeps the weird weird. VTB’s typically atypical entomological set scratches like a hive that has evolved just to the point of thumping out tribal fealties to its giant insect God-Thing. Environmentally ritualized sub-rhythms mix musique-concrete with actual concrete, forming freakishly minimal foundations for the hive of whatevers to swarm within. Noise, once again, for heroes. All this, of course, juxtaposed against France’s hidden reverse: La STPO, who absolutely let it blurt. Their pounding system of post-post-punk-neo-Zeuhl cracks the mantle, with bass lines thicker than Sequoias. And louder than screaming Sequoias. La STPO vacillates between two extreme extremes: something approximating a kind of industrial strength nouveaux bâtiments s'effondrants (German buildings are not the only ones susceptible to collapse), and crushing riffs ala SunnO))). Pascal Godjikian’s fierce grunts and barks keep the hive on the other side believing he is their God-thing. He is someone’s God-thing, that’s for sure.

Since Art Bears, we should know that song project out of complex avant garde or experimental combos could be pure diamonds. This is a confirmation since "The book of Knots" and now Rabbit Rabbit, that are coming ouf from Sleepy Time Gorilla museum. Pop songs, yes, but each are masterpieces.

My problems with Bandcamp is, that there's so much great music. Much too much indeed, to keep track of all the wonderful stuff that's out there. So, sometimes I find myself not buying into the real adventurous albums, because I wouldn't be able to spent enough time with it. Ángel's band October Equus is a typical victim.... Fantastic prog/jazz/avantgarde music, but you really need some time to get into it. This solo album has more of a gentle chamber-music feel to it, so I gladly went for it :- Carsten Pieper
Mazurek's latest outing is a chaotic, powerful and emotional tribute to his mother, who suddenly passed earlier this year. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 14, 2014
