Pan Sonic Kesto

the last track off his 'vandals' ep from last year was a sort of 4/4 electro thing

Voltos Bolt is on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/blastfirstp

Woohoo! Gravitoni was in my mail box today! (ordered it from blastfirstpetite.com only last week)
Just skipped through it and I'd say the first half is quite noisy, the second half starts out quieter and gets harder progressively. But don't take my word for it, buy it yourself. :-)

It's already my favourite album of theirs, I think.

First post-Pan Sonic solo release: a Mika Vainio single on an Austrian label

Studio collaboration with Haino Keiji, recorded in 2007

(that one appears to have leaked, btw)

love the concrete ish penultimate track on gravitoni

Mika Vainio is kind of a hero of mine

Way better picture than "two guys in duffle coats standing in front of a modernist building". Badass tats!

Gravitoni is a terrorizing album. Best of 2010 so far. Still feel ill at times listening to it. Katodivaihe sounds much more fun in comparison, but not as good.

yeah gravitoni is great, probably my favourite so far this year

giving this a spin sight unseen

opening track is some groovy sociopathy

which one? kesto is probably the best album of the last decade

gravitoni

am liking this a lot, although the otherwise wonderful track 3 could stand to go on for 20 more minutes - I gather they've done their fair share of ultraextended composition so I guess to scratch that itch it's a question of trawling the archives (all of Kesto is on Spotify...)

holy mother of god, track 4 kicked in and now I realise why track 3 had to end

he's incredibly stylish right? gotta admire the beauty of that combination. i like to think he wears that outfit every single day and owns a walk in wardrobe full of plain black tees, black levis, and doc marten shoes. extremely cool

what happens when it is very cold :(

this album seems to be getting fiercer with each subsequent track - it's accelerating into an exothermic vortex at almost exactly the right pace, and makes me to lament why I sleep on this kinda thing for so long - also it makes me cherish Spotify, for all its horror

yall h8ing on ilpo

speaking of ilpo, the hertsi record that got reissued on sahko this year is nuts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di4cwV5ZR4c

gonna just throw a bone into the void in case any of you space-cadets are manning the spyglass

Has anyone heard "I, Thighpaulsandra" yet?

anyway gravitoni was eerie and dope

now commencing kesto which will be listened to over the snooker

Pakoisvoima = :D

HALFWAY THERE YOU GUYS

this is soooo good

kesto is pretty amazing. especially love the first two discs and the way they play with tweaking the degrees of harshness for similar structures. feel like I haven't managed to crack the third one with the long silences yet but I rarely put it on. and the last is a nice comedown.

still listen to this on the regular.

how much can i get for this set?

I got a bit over $50.

on ebay?

Me too. Yes, Ebay.

i got kind of a magnetic-fields-post-69-love-songs feel from 'katodivaihe' or however it's spelled, so it will be interesting to see if they shake it off on this last one.

That's a weird comparison to make

ha

<3 It's A Muthang

think in terms of magnitude and concept and it's not weird at all. since '69 love songs' merritt has just been making… records.

<3 corona

so damn heavy

i thought i had posted about this, but maybe it was on the metal thread.

'gravitoni' is great and i haven't been able to listen to it since cold weather and dark nights set in. i don't want to rip apart the fabric of reality and leave an empty hole behind if there's no hot air around to fill the void.

that's exactly when i start listening to pan sonic

and why

ok, puncturing the fabric as we speak, watch out

A much-needed brain colonic for this awful time of year. Thanks for the reminder...

new release imminent:
http://kvitnu.com/pan-sonic-oksastus-soon-on-kvitnu/

ah, ok, "Live album recorded in 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine." which makes sense (kvitnu are based in kiev)

released: 20.02.2014

http://kvitnu.com/releases/kvitnu33/

I ordered from the label. We'll see how long this takes, as it's coming direct from the Ukranian postal system!

Nice cover art:

http://kvitnu.com/releases/

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

such a beautiful and enrapturing recording

drinking lots of coffee on a preternaturally dark rainy spring afternoon and letting this proliferating noise envelop the place

does anyone have other recommendations from the kvitnu label

i like zavoloka's stuff, the lead track on Svitlo ep especially. and the Viter / Verdena lps. Plaster and Sturqen also (think emptyset)

some of the other bands like the loud white noise thing, which doesn't appeal to me.

(lots of samples on amazon.co.uk)

four threads for Kesto...

anyway, now available digitally:
