mikehoolboom Sounds from the bottom of the ocean. A burnt out majestry and glory clings to these tracks, most run through layers of radio statics and lost voices, with a brace of musicians weighing in without overtaking the project. The lamento of Vitula is driven by a swoon of violins. A heartbreaking duet of voices and violins closes proceedings in a lost Americana moment. It was released four years ago, but right now it’s my record of the year.

meanoldmiser It’s impossible to pick a favorite track from any work produced by Drøne: they are complete and effective works of art that should be taken as a whole. Hiểu hôn.

about

The 4th album by drøne, (Mark Van Hoen & Mike Harding), is the 3rd for Anna von Hausswolff's label, Pomperipossa Records. Featuring Zachary Paul on violins, Charlie Campagna (bass and ‘cello) and Katt Newlon on ‘cello, the strings add lush, warm layers to a darker, edgier sound. Gabi Strong debuts on guitar and the voices of a host of vocalists inc. Claire Belhassine, Celia Eydeland, Bana Haffar, Pepa Ivanova, Nour Mobarak & Brisa Romero.

With the trademark drøne sounds of static, radio voices, field recordings, modular synthesizer and found sounds, recording chance sounds right up to the final mix add to the dynamism and energy of the album.

This albums includes a bonus track, black stone, featuring Zachary Paul & Gabie Strong, and a video which you can see here: field.nu/drone/blackstone, and a new bonus video, 'séance'

Scream - its all you can do now. Overwhelming, scatter-gun information delivery has us confused, bowel churningly fearful and appalled at the nature of the changing times. We are biologically, psychologically and emotionally able to cope with slow evolutionary change, but struggle with revolutionary, violent distortion or mutation. This leaves us anxious and even desperate for a firmer footing. Fight or flight.

The Stilling, a phenomenon whereby the wind speed on the planet seems to be slowing down for no known scientific reason, explores this state of discomfort and perplexion.

Time spins. The glass is falling…

about

drøne Los Angeles, California

Mike Harding, Mark Van Hoen and invited guests - …a hauntingly strange and mysterious immersion into a crackling entropy of phantom radio transmissions, squalls of static, choruses of insects, and creepily digitized voices.
