Not all of Stereogum’s favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This week’s eclectic virtual milk crate contains Nadja, Valet, Svarte Greiner, and something extra from Excepter.
Since 2004, Aiden Baker and Leah Bucharkeff have gotten better and better at making a mighty clamor as Nadja (Baker began the group as a solo project in ‘03). Things are especially jam-packed on the Toronto duo’s Bliss Torn From Emptiness, a reworking of an earlier CD-R, which layers guitars, shape-shifting drum machines, fuzzy electronics, bass, and the mastering of ex-Khanate, current Khlyst dude James Plotkin into a bigger 43-minute excursion. The new Bliss is divided into three 18-minute tracks, but if you don’t stare at iTunes, they blend into one piece. The freakishly reliable Canadian label Profound Lore, who’re releasing the record 1/29, were kind enough to let me stream all of part two — see how it goes from an M83 choir-of-angels to a purring-then-lapping piano-esque sectional after the jump.
