(2008) "Penfield Mood Organ" is about a device from Philip K. Dick's book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" - a box designed to induce emotions and feelings in people. This release is definitely the coldest to date for Horologium or Moljebka Pvlse. Divided into three evolutive parts (along with an opening piece) and quickly diving into lurking sadness, "Penfield Mood Organ" initiates the feeling of something tragic soon to be unleashed. Ltd x 500 copies in a digifile.

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Dvnkl' CD (Fifth Week)
With the seventh album from Moljebka Pvlse, Mathias Josefson is joined by Karin Jakobson. Together they craft three lengthy tracks of deep, droney and surreal Dark Ambient soundscapes out of field recordings and manipulated voices. The sound is rich; carefully layered, very intense and oddly nightmarish. A highly meditative, almost hypnotic recording. Ltd x 500 copies in a beautiful, handmade A5 foldout package with silkscreen cover and opaque sleeve. Highly recommended!

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Lode Lvx' 7" (Drone Records)
For some years now Stockholm based artist Mathias Josefson has delighted the drone scene with his highly minimal excursions into drone territory. From harsh noise to soft and gentle ambience, the aim is to reach a basic level of sound conscience. In doing so the "human mind" and the "sound mind" interact to build a symbiotic entity. "Lode" and "Lvx" are great examples of breathing drone structures which seem to be derived from real string or wind instruments. Harmonic and mysterious, dense and aspiring... this is indeed music like a lode of illumination. First edition of 300 copies on black vinyl with silk-screened, embossed covers and an inlay.

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Sadalmelik' CD (Cold Meat Industry)

One track at over 70 minutes. Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold sleeve.

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Sadalsuud' CD (Some Place Else)
For this album, Mathias Josefson collaborated with colleagues from the Royal University Of Arts, Stockholm, who provided him with various sound sources. "Sadalsuud" refers to a star of the same name in the constellation of Aquarius. The name comes from an Arabic phrase meaning "the luckiest of them all". Nevertheless the album is rather earthy-sounding, yet mystical and surreal, almost claustrophobic at times. The sound is quite reminiscent of some works by Nurse With Wound, Maeror Tri or The Hafler Trio, but carries the trademark Moljebka Pvlse feel. Digipak, Finnish import.
MOLJEBKA PVLSE / SEVENTEEN MIGS OF SPRING - 'Ravha / Electricity Gardens' CD (Topheth Prophet)
A split / collaboration disc, with one 27-minute track by the Swedish trio Moljebka Pvlse, five tracks by the Israeli duo Seventeen Migs of Spring and one shared piece. Both acts are known for their unique approach to drone ambient sounds - with processed field electronics, quiet metallic rumbles, dark brooding ambience and drones - with a more aggressive approach by SMOS. Limited to 500 copies in a digifile, with artwork and design by Niko Skorpio.
