Shackleton

I think I just recognised a Werner Herzog sample on the new one (which was briefly and presumably accidentally available to purchase v early).

Furnace of Guts was the last thing I got from him. His latest album material is a bit too coil-y for me, and I've never really been into that ancient England aesthetic. The track simply titled (turku) on Erkin Koray's elektronik Turkuler album from 73 does that mystical vibe for me much better, and rocks much harder with the zurna than any of those pagan-y artists.

The organ stuff is great though, proper rumbling psychedelia.

immense sounding new release

oh yeah, I forgot about that - thanks for the reminder

Yeah snagged that on Bandcamp, need to give an ear...

listening to this now, is it produced with Bill laswell?!? Not so familiar with shackleton but really liked the primal drones release, this is much more global ambient than dark ambient at times

Werner Herzog sample fits so neatly into the mood of the proceedings as to be redundant.

different mood this time but still great and innovative. He's a genius, imho.

er...

lol

years of clicking on this thread pay off at last (i discover something i was already pointed to outside ilx)

funny, the last Shackleton thing I listened too could have had polar soundscape field recordings as pads

new EP : The Majestic Yes

Wow, loving this.

Likewise (and I'd completely missed that it existed, so thanks for posting it).

It's amazing! Probably the best thing he's done since Three EPs. Very Skull Discoish

this album is absolutely immense Sunday music

Clip sounds good! Shame about the title though

Shackleton's collaborations are always the best

excited!

is it just me or is this new one ultra weird? i feel like i’ve gotten a bit too used to his tricks, but this one brings back the old “wtf is going on” sensation i’ve been missing since the fabric mix

“serotonin”

Two other new projects, one from last month:

One out today:

xxpost - it didn't feel more left field or less accessible than Departing Like Rivers to me?

lol - it's one of his most approachable in years: https://ra.co/reviews/35435

the new one w/ heather leigh is real good, dude is on a roll

wouldn't say it's ultra weird by his standards but am enjoying it a lot, I generally prefer it when he goes a bit more percussive like back in the skull disco days than when he goes proggy and Coil-ish

I thought the new one was referring to "The Purge of Tomorrow". Too many new Shackletons!

I wish Flesh & The Dream was on Bandcamp

hmm idk sounds different / weirder / more interesting to me!! maybe i have to listen to the prior albums again, but they all sounded to me more or less like a modern (not sure if “bass music”) update on fourth world music

that review is silly btw, never listen to resident advisor

okay! :-)

oh, the download is available as soon as you order - released already, then

oh damn - did anyone catch the live show on Sept 13th? London Jazz Cafe ( https://ra.co/events/1749385 )

Sadly not - I was out of London or I would be really regretting not knowing about it!

Have only heard the album a couple of times but I really like it (perhaps not as much as their first, but that's a very high standard).

yeah, a lot more focus on the Indian vocals here - but I like it a lot, too

Saw Shackleton a few months back doing a set around 3am at a Freerotation night at The Cause. It was a bit deep in the night so I can’t recall a huge amount of specifics excpet really enjoying it and that it was on the heavier more techno end of his sound.

New Shackleton!

!

it's... I don't know what I think yet. A more subtle followup to the Anika collab from 2017? (or do I only think that because there's a German singer on there?)

This is my (dis)comfort food! Three EPs chopped up maqam percussion with intermittent ghostly kleinkunkst melodies!

I'm loving this, it's like chopped & screwed Dead Can Dance (in dub)

(the instrumentation, not the vocals)

the shackleton / zimpel / belmannu album is amazing

Yes, so good!
