Dictaphone - Goats & Distortions 5 (2021) Hi-Res

The Belgian-German band Dictaphone around mastermind Oliver Doerell returns with their fifth album. After their last highly acclaimed album "APR70" Doerell is surrounded again by his longterm bandmembers Roger Döring (clarinet & saxophone) & Alex Stolze (violins). In the last 3 years they dived even deeper into their "morbid instruments" concept. An old tape machine, which Doerell found in a hidden room in his house served as soundsource, ghostly sounds could be heard and the machine died soon after being sampled. For the first time Döring played a bass clarinet on this album and after the recordings lost it in the subway' They improved their skills to use rustle as a instrument and are supported by the voice of Helga Raimondi in the track "your reign is over". The result is an ungraspable, ghostly, spooky album consisting of ten different journeys into the experimental sound world of these unique compositions.
