*200 copies limited edition* Following the dense, multitracked complexity of the debut double album "aldrig tillbaka. alltid.", Porös returns with a striking follow-up, nyck.. Translating from Swedish as "whim" or "caprice," the title perfectly encapsulates the album's methodology: a series of raw, unedited, one-take improvisations.

While the debut relied purely on layered, intricately composed baritone guitar, nyck. shifts the approach to something much more immediate and impulsive. The solo baritone guitar - routed through a meticulous chain of effects - remains the massive, central force, yielding glacial drones and hovering atmospheric textures. However, the energy here is spontaneous, breathing with the unpredictability of live execution and capturing the exact moment of creation.

Expanding the project's sonic palette, nyck. also introduces stark, mechanical rhythmic elements into the fold. On Side B, the heavy, effects-drenched frequencies are anchored by minimalist percussion: the relentless, ascetic click of a metronome and a cold, monotonic drum machine. This interplay between fluid, cavernous drone and rigid, machine-like repetition creates a hypnotic tension. The physical weight of these improvisations is meticulously preserved on vinyl. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker, the pressing is deeply dynamic, capturing every subtle modulation, sub-frequency oscillation, and rhythmic pulse.
