RELEASE DATE
7/12/2011
Originally released in 2008 on the Swollen Glands label, this is the debut release from
Úlfur Hansson
aka
Klive
, a young musician from Reykjavík, Iceland. He is the bass player of notorious noisecore band
Swords Of Chaos
and a touring member of
Jónsi
(
Jón Þór Birgisson
of
Sigur Rós
). Klive is his solo project.
Sweaty Psalms
has a strong organic feel, mixed with tongue in-cheek brass samples and orchestrations that compliment heavily-processed field recordings. It definitely sounds like water and wood. It bubbles, whistles and rattles indefinitely, with merely seagulls to be spotted. In fact, "Don't Give Up The Ghost" includes sounds from the vehement battering of pots and pans outside the Icelandic Parliament, after the nation's financial crash and burn in 2008. Its inverted folkiness and warm concréte touch makes
Sweaty Psalms
a musically and tonally remarkable album, and perhaps Mille Plateaux's least electronic sounding album so far.
