New Sunn 0))) / Ulver collaboration out now - Terrestrials

[battema]

For those who enjoy this sort of thing (you know who you are):

Sunn 0))) and Ulver finally released their joint album Terrestrials yesterday: http://sunnulversl.bandcamp.com/

Apparently the music came together during 2008-2012, so among other details it means Daniel O'Sullivan was still in Ulver at the time.

I got my copy last night...to my ears it sounds like a hybrid of 'Alice' from Sunn 0)))'s Monoliths and Dimensions, along with some of Ulver's more ambient/orchestral/electronic experiments.

I dig it, but then again I would :P

I've bought it but was waiting for a clear night to give it a spin while driving. But with that bandcamp link there...


Didn't realize it was so short.

[battema]

Yeah...not the longest album I've heard, but it works well as a whole.

I gave it my first listen the other night while reading HP Lovecraft's Whisperer in the Darkness. Suffice to say, the pairing worked quite effectively

Listened to the bandcamp...twas good. I thought the first song got cut just as it started to get going, but other than that I had no issues with the track lengths.

It is definitely night music, which means the nighttime drive is still in it's future. And an excellent choice of reading material.

This is good stuff.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I figured I'd just necro-post on this thread that Mr. Battema started:

Last Saturday I was one of the fortunate to see a live performance of Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O ))) and many others) and François J. Bonnet (current director of the GRM, Kassel Jaeger). This was definitely not a Sunn O ))) experience in terms of sheer bludgeoning bass waves but something extremely nuanced and detailed and also, one of the most psychedelic shows (in terms of sound) I've heard in a good long time. You can read my thoughts here but spoilers... it was beyond stunning!

Nice! Was lucky enough to see KTL once so I definitely appreciate what SO'M does outside of Sunn O))). I've enjoyed the Bonnet collabs too!
