Uton - Shiva Blues

Shiva Blues by Uton

4...according to our on Thu 23 Oct, 2008.

Uton have a new CD on the Reverb Worship label limited to just 50 copies. One of Finland's finest if you're into weird forest folk type gear. This is the 2nd pressing of Shiva Blues with a different napkin or something as the sleeve. This job just gets more nuts. I wasn't trained for this. You'd think I know about napkins but I prefer to wipe my face on my hand afterwards and smile like I've been bad afterwards. Much more satisfying and of course it's more green as it's saving paper. Anyway this is one of the more difficult releases I've heard from Uton. Lots of dark heavy guitar feedback which is quite harsh on the ears. Not particularly folky at all but if you like things difficult and dark this is right up your alley.

This is yet another great Uton recording originally released on Jani's own label.Recorded in Monninkyla,Finland in August 2007. The cd features three tracks of heavy minimalism on guitar with harsh bowed strings floating amidst overtones of feedback.The first track sounds similar to the hillbilly mantras of Henry Flynt with its frenetic concentration.

This is the second edition is limited to 50 copies with a slightly different napkin (it protects the cd) and insert from the first edition on Om Ha Sva Ha Ksha Ma La Ka La Yam.The first edition sold out in super quick fashion.

The cds come with two inserts.The first with paste on photographic artwork and the second which is 260mm x 95mm and is folded
