(((S))) - Welcome To The Heartland

So "Welcome to the Heartland" is a very decent lo-fi/indie/post-punk that in handful draws from achievements of groups like Guided By Voices, and Sonic Youth. Completely honest - little gothic and little pure darkness. In no case, however, it does not affect the picture of the whole - we are...

I must honestly admit that the way things turned out to be was something I had least expected. After two wonderful albums by Marcin Jarmulski, the project [haven] returs with yet another release, which definitely drifts away from what many fans got accustomed to. The material we get in exchange...

And that would...

First things first - this is not a record you can listen to while doing other things. I think it's meant for listeners able to get away from the 'here and now' for a little over 40 minutes. Although the first track is definitely mechanical and traces of this trance-like...
