Zoviet France

Originally released as a cassette back in 1987 as a tape on Staalplaat, Loh Land is one of the few albums from Zoviet France’s early days that encapsulates many of their ideas for a fictional music rich with amorphously spiritual connotations. The aforementioned drones, dubs, and drums alongside distanced vocal chants with have been thoroughly abstracted through a series of delay effects boxes, tape loop machines, and multi-track studio tricks, to create the album’s murky atmosphere. Zoviet France’s Loh Land succeeds in being beautifully but indeterminately holy. Original recordings made April 1985
