PNL – PNL017
The trio of Jim O'Rourke on guitar, Paal Nilssen-Love on drums and Lasse
Marhaug on electronics in an album of beautiful psychedelic noise
recorded at Gok Sound Studio in Tokyo.
"The most interesting of their latest collaborations is the one with
guitarist Jim O'Rourke, who contributes classic Sonic Youth guitar noise
to the duo's [Paal Nilssen-Love & Lass Marhaug] excesses. At the
start, Nilssen-Love is a very economical: his usual velocity is
reluctant, almost coy. The three musicians blend excellently with each
other, Marhaug's electronics and O'Rourke's guitar effects are a perfect
match - a combination of early Pink-Floyd-psychedelia and new music in
the tradition of Stockhausen and Mario Bertoncini. Side A end with a
magical moment that could go on forever. The flipside is rawer and more
disruptive, Marhaug's evil static is a constant presence: the
disagreeable and disturbing side of noise [...]"-Martin Schray, The Free
Jazz Collective.
