Body Of Sound – Body Of Music
Tip! *2025 stock* Body of Sound, Body of Music is Norwegian bass player Christian Meaas Svendsen’s second solo bass album.

This is the basis. Furthermore, the recording is an investigation in bringing t…

Dangerous as individuals, lethal as a band!

Tumblack
A massive speaker-smashing release, decades overdue.

Lux
Another foggy day in Yorkshire. A steel grey sky. Raindrops tracing one another down the windowpane. Kirk Barley sits in his studio and assembles compositions from scraps of found sound and live instrumentation. Melodies swell, withdraw and repeat like waves. Time slows. Accelerates. Slows again. The light bends, tweaked at the edges. Twisted by rhythms that never quite resolve.
Written, recorded and produced by Barley in Yorkshire in early 2024, Lux picks up where 2023 LP Marionette leaves off,…
