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
