Quemada is excited to announce the
release of a new material from Regler. Regler is the workings of Mattin (Billy Bao and a thousand other projects and collaborations) on
guitar and Anders Bryngelsson (Brainbombs) on drums. Over the course
of five releases on five different labels, Mattin and Anders had sought to
mimic, distill ,and distort a different musical genre using the barest of
instruments and the slimmest of guiding principles. The game is to reduce the genre to
a simple rule and the follow that rule without change for however long the
release’s medium will allow. The results
are the most maximal and immersive form minimalism we’ve heard in some
time.
So far
the boys have undertaken dub, d-beat, free jazz, noise core, harsh noise wall
and classical music. This new LP on
Quemada tackles techno and drone with the help of Henrik Andersson on bass.
The results for both are as meditative as they are disorienting. Techno (Regel #6) sounds like a recording
made just outside the club played back at top volume in a padded room for an
audience of one as the lights gradually fade in and out. Drone (Regel #7) sounds like a recording the
inside of a florescent light bulb played in a metal shack during an ice storm. Beautiful.
Due out in just a couple weeks. Keep your eyes peeled!
