Förlag För Fri Musik
Loopsel - The Spiral LP
Regular price
€22.99
Elin Engström from Monokultur and Skiftande Enheter goes solo as Loopsel. Recorded for a video installation in Copenhagen April 2019, The Spiral was originally released as a cassette on Amatör Kassetter in an edition of 50 copies later that year.
The Förlag För Fri Musik edition is a longer version, expanded to a full album. Like haunting, distant radio transmissions tuning in and out, both sides are made up of several different suites, fragmentary from-the-back-of-a-room ambience with guitar, organ, field recordings and occasional vocals. The grey and murky nature of the recording combined with the immense beauty lurking under the surface sort of brings the spirit of Lovely Midget lathe cuts or CDr-era Grouper to mind, everything amped up with just the right amount of Gothenburgian experimentation.
200 copies, screenprinted covers.
