Max Guld - For Enden Af Corridoren (2015) [Remastered]

You have to admire Dark Entries for their dedication to sourcing obscure music. These tracks were recorded in a Copenhagen suburb during the early 80s and subsequently released in a limited edition of just 100 cassettes. Now the US label has re-mastered and reissued them on vinyl for the first time. Guld boasts a naive, lo-fi feeling, from the dreamy synths of "Fortryliet" and the sensuous "Bent" to the scratchy guitar and post-punk pop of "Alices Udvej" and the primitive rhythm of "Leifs Jamre". It's not all wide-eyed reveries though and the eerie synths of "Den Kolde Skulder" suggest that Guld had a more malign streak. Whether Dark Entries can unearth more of his material remains to be seen, but if anyone can do it, the San Fran label can.
