More Not Not Fun records are heading your way....this time we got 'Silver Sea Surfer School' from Inca Ore. Representing with some seriously spacious ambient moves. Inca Ore (Oakland, California's Eva Saelens) is lo-fi at the most extreme. Feedback punctuates every corner of 'Sliver Sea...' and makes for a slightly unnerving yet commonly rewarding journey. I feel agitated and uptight within minutes of placing the needle on the wax. It's clangy, it's industrial and it's 'totally far out....man'. Ghoulishly haunting vocal episodes drift in and out of what sounds like cymbals being bowed and scratched into delayed infinitely. Echo Chambers play a big part in the action and industrial sounding tones dominate the mix almost exclusively throughout....this is no bad thing and makes for a refreshingly individualist approach to sound craft. Crazy and inventive stuff.Eva Saelens life quest has taken her from Michigan to Oregon to Oakland back to Portland and back again, with several overseas explorations and inner journey road trips thrown in for good measure. Whatever path she s on is long and winding and hidden in the shadow of overhanging cherimoya trees. Fortunately she maps her migrations with haunted, exotic breath-and-electricity sphinxes ranging from 2006 s Brute Nature Vs. Wild Magic to last year s brainwashing Birthday Of Bless You LP. 2009 finds her offering up another psychic harvest unto the world, Silver Sea Surfer School, a new nine-song pipeline ride that floats through a whole new web of voice orbs and tape hiss and keyboard balladry. If anything, Silver Sea is Saelens weirdest hour, layered in abstract environments, whispers, distant poetry, free percussion loops, with sudden passages of heart-dissolving ghost-piano beauty ( Shine On From The Heaven Above, Adventure In Light ). Heavily impressive, and a brave pearl-dive into even more personal waters for the Inca Ore life force. LPs come in jackets with art by Saelens, plus a full-color insert. Edition of 500 CD edition available on Acuarela
