Dances In Dreams Of The Known Unknown Skull Defekts, The SKU: THRILL358LP Barcode: 0790377035810 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey Released Date: 7th April 2014 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info ‘Dances In Dreams Of The Known Unkown’ is the second rock album from Swedish group The Skull Defekts, with the legendary Daniel Higgs (Lungfish) joining Joachim Nordwall and Daniel Fagerstroem on vocal duties and acting as the group’s spiritual ringleader. The Defekts have long acted as the backbone of the Swedish experimental underground, but since their 2011 breakthrough ‘Peer Amid’, the group has emerged at the vanguard of a new wave of radical Scandinavian rock music alongside Iceage and the Posh Isolation label. From the opening patter of ‘Pattern Of Thoughts’ to the propulsive chants of ‘Cyborganization’, ‘Dances In Dreams Of The Known Unknown’ feeds on the tension between lean and bright song production and the hefty, sometimes surreal sounds produced by Nordwall and Fagerstroem’s guitars. Daniel Higgs’ spontaneous, metaphoric poetry is as perplexing as ever, but it is delivered with a clarity not heard since his days fronting Lungfish. Album centrepiece ‘The Known Unknown’ is centred around a driving riff, with Nordwall turning the song’s title into a mantra as intense as it is transcendent. Throughout, the group anchors their riffs with exotic sustained chords, adding a distinctly Carnatic flavour. The Skull Defekts are one of the centrepieces of Sweden’s experimental rock scene and toured the world in support of their last album ‘Peer Amid’. Joachim Nordwall’s long history in the European experimental music community serves to reinforce the group’s place as one of the most forwardthinking rock bands working in the continent today. In addition to running iDEAL Recordings since 1998, Nordwall has released collaborative recordings with Mika Vanio of Pan Sonic, Kevin Drumm and Mats Gustafsson, whose FIRE! Orchestra he recently joined. Daniel Higgs is the lyricist and frontman of Lungfish and also has a very extensive catalogue of solo material. In addition to his music Daniel is a highly respected visual artist. LP version includes high gloss UV printing, an artworked inner sleeve and free download card. The first 500 copies are pressed on clear vinyl. The Skull Defekts will tour the US and Europe in support. “[The Skull Defekts] storm evokes some powerful post-punk forefathers – for starters, think of the rhythmic interplay of The Ex and magnetic singer G.W. Sok, or The Fall’s tight repetitions in support of Mark E. Smith’s rambling. Lofty company, but The Skull Defekts have earned it.” – Pitchfork Artist Skull Defekts, The Genre Rock And Pop Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Pattern Of Thoughts It Started With The Light The Fable King Of Misinformation Awaking Dream The Known Unknown Venom Little Treasure Cyborganization Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Skull Defekts, The and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Skull Defekts, The The Skull Defekts Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP Released 23rd February 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skull Defekts, The The Skull Defekts £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL455LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Skull Defekts, The 2013 – 3012 Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP Released 7th November 2011 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skull Defekts, The 2013 – 3012 £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL1248 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th November 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Skull Defekts, The Peer Amid Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 2LP, 45rpm Released 14th February 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skull Defekts, The Peer Amid £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL260LP Formats: 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 14th February 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Muse Origin Of Symmetry Rock And Pop | Mushroom | 2LP Released 2nd June 2023 £200.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Muse Origin Of Symmetry £200.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mushroom SKU: nn264935 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Abba Fernando Rock And Pop | UMC | 7", Picture Disc Released 7th October 2016 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abba Fernando £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: UMC5077 Formats: 7", Picture Disc Released Date: 7th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View London Grammar Truth Is A Beautiful Thing Rock And Pop | Metal & Dust | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th June 2017 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations London Grammar Truth Is A Beautiful Thing £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Metal & Dust SKU: MADART2LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th June 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Nitzer Ebb Basic Pain Procedure Rock And Pop | Pylon | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th January 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nitzer Ebb Basic Pain Procedure £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pylon SKU: PYLON30LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brothers And Sisters Of L.A., The Dylan’s Gospel Rock And Pop | Light In The Attic | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 31st March 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brothers And Sisters Of L.A., The Dylan’s Gospel £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Light In The Attic SKU: LITA106LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 31st March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Esben And The Witch A New Nature Rock And Pop | Nostromo | 2LP Released 8th September 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Esben And The Witch A New Nature £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nostromo SKU: NSTRM001LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stereophonics Oochya!
