ANDREAS BRANDAL – ‘Drive Home With A Hammer’ CD (Quasi Pop)
This is the first full-length CD release by Norwegian noise artist Andreas Brandal. “Drive Home With A Hammer” is not ‘just another noise record’. Once you hear it, you will be surprised by the unique sense of Andreas’ manipulation with interesting close-to-recognisable sounds. His skills in working with macro/micro audio-events helps him to create a powerful and impressive audio work using both vintage analogue equipment and modern computer tools. The smallest audio element that can indicate the way to the hidden layers and perspectives in sound. This album sounds very deep, organic and analogue, because hisses, brutal tape loops and glitches are the constant ingredients of Andreas’ output. The structure of the tracks is clear and irregular at the same time, the music flows freely, but not quiet, because it is created with both composition and improvisation methods. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
