A Static Caravan limited edition lathe cut 7" is always a cause for celebration. You know these things don't last long so be quick.. Iris To Hypnos are responsible for VAN 166 it truly is a sublime offering. 'Hypodermic' is an intoxicatingly warm piece of music that recalls prime FSOL ambient works with it's melancholy piano and pretty shimmering tones and electronic glitches. An abstract piece that slowly evolves into a really sweet tune. 'Stele 31' develops the sound further, this time with subtle strings an understated occasional beat and a magical sound that's like a chorus of angels. Numbered of 105 copies and comes with bonus 3" CD with both tracks. From the noise terror of Blue Sabbath Black Cheer to this gentle lushness... Only Static Caravan are so adventurous and diverse in a climate of labels playing it safe.Two slices of precise electronica somewhere between Autechre, Sheppard/Phelan and Mego.
