die ANGEL - Yön Magneetti Sine (2023) [Hi-Res]

Dirk Dresselhaus and Ilpo Väisänen's ninth album as die ANGEL is an expert set of improvised noise that the duo call their "electro-acoustic blues album". 'Yön Magneetti Sine' is Dresselhaus and Väisänen's most stripped-down album yet, made by processing acoustic signals from two homemade single-string instruments and an acoustic guitar. There are flickers of AMM or Loop on the opening track '– (10-29)'; the duo pluck their instruments as if they're triggering a sequence of processes and effects, using faint pings to inform electronic repetitions and gloomy field recordings. The mood shifts from blues to slashed amplifier noise, mirroring KTL's big-room dissonance with clanking shreds and thick walls of distortion before heading into a buzzing fusion of Panaonic interference, stormy feedback and warehouse grot. Very good.
