What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Here's a fantastic 7" from the Trensmat label. Is it me or is this just about the best new label to come out of nowhere in ages? Every single release has been great.... It reminds me of the golden olden days when labels were taking chances and releasing interesting things instead of the commercial bland tat which I'm perpetually surrounded by. Area C is the artist and it's a lathe cut edition of 100 which includes a digital version which you can upload to the internet and fuck the artist over with. Nice.... In case that wasn't apparent.... don't do that. It's not a good thing to to do at all.... Musically we have 4 tracks of Krautrock style electronica ala Suicide, Neu, The Telescopes, Stereolab.....etc. That kind of chugging motorik thing which just bimbles along like old women in markets. It's great anyway and it's made my brain happy. I can't recommend Tricks with Knives this enough. Quality.

What the label says:

Area C is Erik Carlson, a one-man guitar loops and effects maestro that sounds like the work of some strange rock band. His compositions examine the texture and tonal characteristics of sound, working with live loops, their cyclical relationships, and the details of their decay over time.

On the title track a supreme motorik groove is navigated. Looped guitars slither and sway, constructing dark melodies in propulsive rhythms to a mesmerising krautrockscape which brings to mind prime Cologne/Dusseldorf axis jams. The flip is more blissful and calm, concerned more with texture and mood where layers are looped and smeared, rhythms pulse and lope, a dreamy ambient post rock world of darkness and mystery. An expansive, rich sonic soundworld.

Included on the additional multimedia CD are exclusive videos for 'Trick with a knife' & 'That spark'. Two beautiful visual representations of dream-like states that perfectly compliment the tracks. The three tracks from the 7" are also on the CD.

VERY limited edition package of numbered clear vinyl lathe cut 7" and multimedia CD. Both in full colour wraparound picture sleeve.
