Kemialliset Ystavat V Sunroof!
Split Series #19

This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Bonkers 12" on Fat Cat by Kemialliset Ystavat and Sunroof. The Kemiallisset side is crazed electronic experimental music. It's a bit like Animal Collective on acid and I reckon that's something that's takes some doing. There's the Finnish folk element underneath it all and underneath this there's a lot going on in, and it's certainly less poppy than the other stuff I've heard by them. Deffo worth checking out though as it's bizarrely compelling! The Sunroof side is Matt Bower from Skullflower with Mick Flower playing on one of the tracks. In fact it was recorded at the termite festival in leeds in 2007. This is some pretty harsh power electronics which will melt your brain into submission. Fans of Merzbow take note!

ANOTHER ALBUM-LENGTH RELEASE, THE NINETEENTH 12” IN FATCAT RECORD’S ACCLAIMED SPLIT SERIES PRESENTS TWO IMMENSELY VITAL AND INFLUENTIAL ARTISTS WHOSE FIERCELY FOCUSED AND HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL MUSIC HAS GENUINELY PUSHED BOUNDARIES AND AN AESTHETICS OF MOVEMENT / EXCESS IN TWO VERY DIFFERENT, YET COMPLIMENTARY WAYS, CREATING THEIR OWN DISTINCTIVE SOUND-WORLDS.

FATCAT’S INITIAL HOOKUP WITH KEMIALLISET YSTÄVÄT OCCURRED IN FEBRUARY 2006, WHEN THE BAND WERE INVITED TO PLAY AT FATCAT’S ‘OPEN CIRCUIT’ FESTIVAL IN BELGIUM, AT WHICH THEY ALSO PLAYED A LIVE IMPROVISED COLLABORATION WITH MÚM. A FANTASTIC LIVE UNIT, THEY WILL BE TOURING THE UK / EUROPE THIS AUTUMN AS PART OF A BIG CMN TOURING PROJECT.

SUNROOF! IS THE WORK OF PROLIFIC, BRADFORD-BASED GUITAR-ABUSE LEGEND MATTHEW BOWER, WHO HAS BEEN ACTIVE ON THE EXPERIMENTAL / POST-PUNK / NOISE UNDERGROUND FOR OVER 25 YEARS, RELEASING OVER 60 ALBUMS UNDER A VARIETY OF PSEUDONYMS INCLUDING SKULLFLOWER, TOTAL, PURE AND HOTOTOGISU.

KEMIALLISET YSTÄVÄT’S LAST ALBUM ACHIEVED CRITICAL ACCLAIM INCLUDING #25 IN THE WIRE’S ALBUMS OF THE YEAR.

THE FATCAT SPLIT SERIES APPEALS TO BOTH COLLECTORS OF THE SERIES ITSELF, AS WELL AS FANS OF BOTH BANDS ON THE PRESENT RELEASE.

THE 12” SLEEVE IS DEFINABLE BY THE HOLES THAT ARE HAND DRILLED PERSONALLY BY FATCAT RECORDS. THE FIRST RELEASE HAD JUST ONE HOLE, THIS ONE HAS NINETEEN. THE LAST RELEASE WILL HAVE TWENTY-FOUR HOLES, WHEN THE SLEEVE RUNS OUT OF SPACE.
