The fourth full-length release of the icelandic duo gjöll is inspired by
'the power of now', a book by the spiritual author eckhard tolle which
is intended to be a self-help guide for day-to-day living and stresses,
the importance of living in the present moment and avoiding thoughts of
the past or future. tolle calls the misery of our daily mindgrind 'the
background static of perpetual discontent' which is what we need to
refurbish out of our minds to be able experiencing joy instead of
constantly seeking distraction. both the music and the lyrics on this
album reflect this topic from different points of view between anger and
inner peace.
this wide range of tempers and feelings are musically processed with
most various styles between gloomy ambient soundscapes, rhythm based
industrial and piercing power electronics whereat strumming rhythm
guitar blows by luca brembilla on track 3 add a heavily distorted
post-rock element. 2kilos &more and black sifichi have a guest
appearance on track 4, melting their unique downbeat electronica and
sinister voice with gjöll's sound spectrum: slow, grinding beats,
elaborated synth / sampling treatments and intense vocals ranging from
susurration to furious screaming. this diversified range of
instrumentation and sounds generates augmentative atmospheres between
coldness, wamth and burning heat.
haunting, hypnotic, soothing and disquieting, 'the background static of
perpetual discontent' presents an enthralling impulse for mind and body.
'there is no authority but yourself.'
