ARABROT
SINNERMAN (PELAGIC)
The last remaining copies of this april 2018 release, foreshadowing the current WHO DO YOU LOVE? album.
Arabrot's sonic spectrum has always been a wide and wild field of purposefulmismatches, a world of riction between the noisy, the disharmonic, the tension, and rivalling moments of harmonic relief.
But there is more than noise rock to Arabrot's formula, a dark, velveteen grace which feels derived from both pop and cabaret songwriting" (The Quietus).
,I'm interested in feelings, either the very silent or the extremely noisy", band leader Kjetil Nernes comments.
,I don't care about what's in between, the middle of the road isn't my thing. The bible fits really well with that.
I'm using it thematically all of the time. " After successfully recovering from cancer, Kjetil Nernes' Arabrot are now stronger than ever.
The band has collaborated with procuders like Billy Anderson and Steve Albini, and musicians like Ted Parsons (Killing Joke/Swans), Sunn O))))'s Stephen O'Malley, and Kvelertak's Erlend Hjelvik.
They have composed music for silent movies like "Die Niebelungen" and "Doctor Caligari", and have teamed up with The Quietus-founder John Doran on his spoken word tour.
The previous full-length album "The Gospel", was named "Album of the Year" in The Quietus.
