After producing their frozen trilogy of intoxicated dronemuzik for the Agency, these Scandinavian gentlemen have ventured into more absurdist territories through fictionalised soundtracks for imagined Mondo films and science fiction serials. It is in this context that BJ Nilsen & Stilluppsteypa present the apparitional "Big Shadow Montana", an album of slow-motion delirium manifested in occluded smears, nocturnal gasps, and arcane tones from a variety of analogue synthesizers. A spiraling symphony of bubbling electronics and spectral drones that mutate on both sides of the record into lugubrious yet carnivalesque waltzes. A pyrrhic jubilation of calliope harmonies set down by organs and synths turning a pale-blue hue in the wake of all that white skin shivering underneath the arctic sky. Comes with a download code.
BJ Nilsen has been recording deep experimental music since the early 90’s with darkness as his best companion. He released legendary stuff for Cold Meat Industry as Morthound, which drifted into his Ash International and Touch works as Hazard and nowadays as BJ Nilsen. He is now focusing on the power of sound and the sound of nature and its effects on humans. London-based percussionist Z’EV is a true legend from the underground. He was one of the key operators of Industrial culture (1978-1984). The atmospheric impact of this collaboration is massive. Their genius is the power of drone and the beauty of trance. They build dark atmospheres that are at the same time disturbing, meditative and enjoyable. Digipak.

JANITOR - 'Qoumran 4-Ever' CD (Tesco Organisation)
This is Janitor's 3rd full-length release. The two masterminds Lina Baby Doll (aka Peter Andersson of Deutsch Nepal) and BJ Nilsen (Hazard, Morthond) got together again to produce an outstanding mix of rhythms, industrial elektronic soundscapes and romantic tunes. With the distinct voice of Lina Baby Doll, this is a sentimental journey into their world of weirdness. After years of contemplation and research in the monastery caves of Qoumran, Nilsen and LBD found the hidden treasures they were looking for. The dry wind as a tapestry of sand in an elektronic desert, structures and ornaments hidden in the storm of Saudi. Another surprising release from the Swedish duo, presented in a digipak.
