Having visited the glorious country of New Zealand I was able to relish the deep tranquility & otherworldliness of the place for almost a month, a treasured experience I can tell thee! I can understand the Kiwi take on the ambient/drone/noise genre a lot greater now (many pioneers of the scene hail from this remote part of the world, no doubt influenced by their spacious & desolate surroundings & close proximity to wondrous natural habitat of all kinds. Sunken are from those isles and make a soothing racket that veers from fuzzy, warm noise to space invaders taking accordion lessons! Forward into cyclic loops that are overlaid with a sinister wall of creaking, malevolent sounds and lo-fi distortion, like a radio being tuned by a extra terrestrial monster with a passion for post-industrial static manipulations. Then the (tuneful & drifting) accordions creep in again! On the last piece you get treated to some wild, meandering free psych guitar played by a space octopus on shark-crack. Sounds like the corpse of Jimi, mutated into a squalling mind shagger from Mars. This is the sound of the underground indeed. 3 tracks that take you underwater & then up into a woozy place in the heavens! 'Eye Electric Organ' is a great little CD, constructed with a fair amount of love. I'm always curious about drone music & this is a sweet addition to anyone's collection. Like a more lo-fi Growing perhaps or for anyone curious about the new generation of New Zealand's ambient spacedrone producers!Sunken.- 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve'.
Deep in the swirling depths of the ocean a terrible yet wondrous beast stirs
slow but sure amidst great forests of sea algae. Taking on the form of a
pair of conjoined drown-ed sailors it sets forth upon the currents
determined to loose its apocalyptic vision upon the earth via droning sea
shanty and great humming hymn.
Sunken is the duo of sunken sailors Stefan Neville (Pumice) and Antony
Milton (Nether Dawn/A.M etc). Using a range of organs, sonar gear, live
tapeloops, vocals and an unhealthy amount of submarine reverb they create a
glorious droning pop noise. 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve'
follows on from their acclaimed self titled debut (also on PseudoArcana) and
various compilation appearances.
