THE MON Doppelleben [CD]
$14.00
Description
THE MON, a new solo project by Ufomammut’s bassist, synth player, and vocalist Urlo, presents its debut LP Doppelleben through Supernatural Cat Records, the label formed by members of Ufomammut and the Malleus Rock Art Collective.
Where Ufomammut creates mind-expanding, heavy psychedelic, almost other-dimensional sounds, The Mon by comparison is far more intimate, looking inward, as Urlo explores and examines his inner most thoughts through music. In his own words, the goal of THE MON is, "to reach the boundaries of a spiritual soundscape in which the music becomes purification and atonement, a way to bring out to the world inside my soul."
Created entirely but Urlo, THE MON builds layers of brooding sounds which sometimes unfurl at a glacial pace and other times lurch with rhythmic propulsion on Doppelleben, each piece distinct, densely packed, and all-consuming in their evocative atmospheres. Analog and electronic instrumentation weaves seamlessly around both instrumental and vocal movements through eight diverse tracks encompassing nearly forty-three minutes of spellbinding music. Doppelleben weaves a creative web of sounds which should entice fans of Ufomammut, John Carpenter, Bobby Beausoleil, Nine Inch Nails, Angelo Badalamenti, and more.
The Doppelleben CD comes in a digitpak with a 12-page booklet. Imported from Italy. [Supernatural Cat]
