[haven] - The Last Breath of Lonely Buildings

2005-11-28 / Vesper / Reads: 14086

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...

[haven] - Noir

Every time news of [haven]’s new album reach my ears I begin to wonder: ‘What would it be this time Mr. Jarmulski?’. Ambient, industrial, electronics, trip-hop, experiments, all of these we’ve heard before, so it’s only natural to, just like in Monthy Python, expect something completely different.

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...

(((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...
