\"Origami<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Norwegian folk droners Origami Arktika<\/a> released their latest album, Absolut Geh\u00f6r<\/em>. Part of the artists’ collective Origami Republika<\/a>, they recast traditional Norwegian folk songs and folklore into experimental and drone renditions, as the press release describes.<\/p>\n

\n

“The music on this new album is dim, dark, & melancholic. Some tracks bear witness to a sacral droning organ. The associations leap towards damp ecstasy in small chapels, deep in narrow valleys where meaningless rituals & prayers tempt weary souls with promises of a better afterlife. Folk beliefs, Pagan beliefs, Christian beliefs \u2013 the unintelligible has led a life in close proximity to the shallow waters of reason & perception permeating our times, breeding models of understanding for an unfamiliar & seemingly meaningless existence.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Absolut Geh\u00f6r<\/em> is available on vinyl via Killer Records and digitally via Silber Records<\/a>. To give you a taster of what they’re throwing at you, listen to the grand and hypnotic ‘Det syng for Storegut’ below.
