From the 2007 album "Fall, fall falling" because 'tis the season. The Autumn Equinox hits like a hammer up here, bringing on dead leaves; damp, dreary days and long, dark nights. The angle of light gives the world a special glow and a new chill enters the air, mixing with wood smoke. I'll have lived in this house for 5 years come Halloween and I'm still not quite used to the suddenness of it all. Still, after living most of my life in California, there will always be something special about experiencing true seasonal change. Besides, fall really [...]
Για πολλούς τα φαντάσματα δεν περιμένουν τα μεσάνυχτα για να κάνουν την εμφάνισή τους. Εντυπωσιακό πώς οι δημιουργίες μιας ταραγμένης ψυχής μπορούν να έχουν τέτοια κατευναστική επίδραση στη ψυχοσύνθεση άλλων. Αν φυσικά μπορείς να αντέξεις μια κατάδυση χωρίς τη νευρωτική αναζήτηση φωτός στην άκρη του τούνελ. Ο Thomas Ekelund , εικαστικός και μουσικός από το Gothenburg, αφηγείται την προσωπική του ιστορία: Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, a both vile and many-faced disease that inevitably drapes every aspect of life in shadows that [...]

J'ai souvent cherché ce trait de ressemblance. Cet attrait qui nous unit... Mais dans cette quête de l'autre, c'est moi au final que je cherchais à traiter. J'aurais aimé que la musique de Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words puisse m'aider à tirer un trait sur le passé. Mais toujours, et encore les traits tirés de ce petit matin, me font dire que je reste attiré par -- ... En émoi devant le miroir, en pleine réflexion ! [MP3] DLS Out Dead Words - What I [...]
Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words - What I Wouldn't Give To Feel Alive Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words is one Thomas Ekelund who created Lost In Reflections after being diagnosed with a "near crippling mental disease." How long after I don't know. All I know is that this was recorded in 05/06 and there have been many Dead Letters releases since then. Not that I think that context is necessary to fully [...]

Download this track and load it into your mp3 player. Put it on and take a walk downtown. Watch as the color drains from the scenery, as the faces around you dissolve into emptiness. Watch as every movement, even the most benign, takes on new, sinister connotations. Eventually, the paranoia will give way and then you will be left with nothingness. A blank slate; a total loss.
New in stock from Fang Bomb: Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words - Lost in reflections (LP+7") Various Artists - Sub Gothenburg (CS) DLSODW is, unsurprisingly, a late-entry contender for my year-end top 10. As for the "Sub Gothenburg" cassette, well, I should hope my enthusiasm for all things Gbg is obvious by now. If you want exciting new music, these releases are a good place to start.
I started a new job last week, and I'm way behind on my blog reading, so here's me trying to catch up like usual. Mr. Chop - "Zoid" "Zoid" is about as dark and sinister a mood piece as you can get, with droning synths sorta like Thomas Bangalter's "Paris by Night" , but with the beat moving double-time. ( via ) Speaking of things dark and sinister, Blaqstarr and M.I.A 's cover of "Way Down in the Hole" is an exciting bit of bleak and [...]

I was just about to check out of my hotel room and head to the airport when the answers to this week's Göteborg feature showed up in my inbox. This week's guest: Matthias Aandersson from Release the Bats , one of Sweden's preeminent underground labels. How long have you lived in Gbg? What brought you there and what keeps you hanging around? I moved here in summer 2003 so I have been living in GBG for close to 5 years now. I used to live in a [...]
Image credit: NGC 2024, The Flame Nebula in Orion by Robert Gendler This list takes off where the slow and heavy grooving pieces of the previous instalment left us. Om is definitely one of my favourites within the genre and this track from their latest (and with drummer Chris Hakius leaving this duo, sadly enough, probably also their final) studio album Pilgrimage makes for a perfect bridge from the previous part of this series. But soon after, things get a little different. It's darker and a lot more [...]
