DESCRIPTION |
|  | JAKOB Solace Label : Conspiracy Records Year : 2008 Format : 2xLP Style : Hardcore Availability : Out of stock
| | | | Description : | Transient insomnia lasts from days to weeks. Hailing from Napier, New Zealand, Jakob evoke a shimmering beauty that leaves you dazed, as if you'd been staring at the sun for a full hour. Spaceous riffs and subtle passages that function as a portal into another dimension. They gradually shift and sink into deeper waters, with every drumbreak and throbbing groove, they push their space-rock submarine forward. High on octane and rock backbone, yet mystically soaked in an underwater diet of painkillers. This album is strong like Hercules and undoubtly works best at high volumes, as this transcending post three-piece take it up a notch, while every track fades in and out like a wave, yet never failing to leave behind a new piece of the bigger, solarized puzzle. And every single time the hammer drops, you sink further in a coma. A pure ode to solar power that combines the hypnotizing rhythms of vintage krautrock with the no-go-just-slow slash of post-rock. Jakob heavily rely on echo, hums and resonating drones to shape a hovering instrumental trip that captivates with gentle bliss. There's a distinct 70's production feel, no blatant brainscrape but the one that stops the clock and dictates riffs of ravishing and eternal gloom. A deeper shade of tormented soul for folks that get magical to Boris, Isis, Tarentel, Brian Eno, Spiritualized and Boards Of Canada. Their live intensity has grasped listeners by the throat when supporting the likes of Isis, Pelican, Mono, The Hidden Hand and former Can frontman Damo Suzuki. The beast is free. Time to drift offshore. This is a limited vinyl (500 first press) edition to introduce Jakob for those in Europe who are still unaware.
