Vladislav Delay - Anima

Visa is excellent and definitely a refinement/return to form

the track "Huone".

otm

ok how the hell did I miss that VD has collaborated on a couple film soundtracks

explode w/agf is all time

caught his show last night w/agf doing the visuals

vladislav delay has kind of gone noize? a lot harder than some previous shows, and I caught a couple tracks from the recent ep mid-set. when I get to somewhere to upload/edit I might have some pics & video

nice!

I was just thinking about this dude. He rules. Midwest cassette label noise or Mego noise? Tbh either works for me.

hmm probably closer to mego? definitely some harsh noise wall with clipping - of the filter variety, not the max-out-the-eq variety

clip from said show

I need to go to Unsound next year

post around these parts if you do! I may be back

if you don’t mind me asking, what country are you in?

Amerikkka

oh, hi there

shivers: "I really wanted to apply a physical kind of pressure on the album, to make the sounds dead, and to just really kill all extra stuff, melodies and harmonies."

wouldn't mind if he put a physical kind of pressure on me tbqf

I’ve been tempted to make a version of this meme with sasu/agf but I thought the audience would be limited https://66.media.tumblr.com/033ff64dcc603f800149854070318efb/tumblr_inline_oavnicJGUj1shva7d_540.png

Haha. Good interview, although now I have a lot of questions about how they make money (besides having sold a bunch of gear). Maybe in Finland you can just hang out, hike, do yoga, and make music.

(although it looks like he's done some soundtrack and production work that wasn't mentioned)

i didn't see it there, but maybe in another recent interview he mentioned something about his wife working? i seem to recall

Also I love the way his upcoming record sounds in my head, but I'm guessing it will not actually sound like that in reality

fantastic news

happy Rakka day

!!

i haven't anticipated an album this much in a while

sounds just as good in track form as it did live!

bracing stuff, love it. wish I could listen to it really loud in the open air.

yes, it's awesome, exactly what i'd hoped for based on the live clip

thought this was a great review of a great album

fucking love this album so far (one track in lol!) but this is just what I need right now.

talked myself out of, and then immediately back into, buying the Multila remaster/release recently

Christ, this is like being left out in the gritty, bitter wind, stripped naked, staked to the permafrost.

Ha, yeah :) With my face frozen to the ice and a malicious cold snow storm on the way all I'm thinking is: it's fucking great that he's back. And is sounding so immediate in his iso/desolation. Love this.

the first track is absolute killer.

It's all killer! It just goes on and on. Mind and vein sweeper, this.

some real Mika Vainio spirit in this album, I love it.

some of this even sounds like death metal, but in a good way!

xp Yes I'm definitely hearing the spirit of Pan Sonic moving through this.

everyone itt is correct about this amazing record

some of this even sounds like death metal, but in a good way!

Yeah the track raataja I described to a friend as "OPN meets double bass pounding death metal? Punishing yet hypnotic and futuristic."

someone on twitter posted something about consuming things that feel like a soul hug from the universe, and i stopped myself from replying that ACTUALLY the new Vlad Delay is probably what a soul hug from the universe would feel like. i am posting it here instead.

That someone would be naxuu, a good soul. And I agree.

^^ have they ever posted to ilx? i follow them on twitter and know they’re on another site I occasionally frequent

As far as I know, no, but I've gotten know naxuu rather well over the past few years -- a good soul as mentioned, very thoughtful and grounded. Just had dinner with him on Monday.

Bring him to a fap!

It'll happen!

Well then. This isn't what I was expecting at all. And it rules.

i'm blasting this thing outdoors, pines all over, in a really hot afternoon, and it keeps delivering this sense of some telluric wildfire arriving, idk

New album 500-Push-Up with Sly & Robbie in May.
Clips sound fantastic

Oh wow! He may live as a recluse in the icy woods now, he sure hasn't retired. I'm so glad he's back.
