COEN OSCAR & HERMAN WILKEN

Do you like the sound of beeps? If not, you better skip this review as this is music at its most experimental. Fathomless is the second album (100 copies on transparent vinyl and another 100 on black) by Coen Oscar Polack and Herman Wilken.

You find two tracks on here on where those two abstract musicians are taking you to some other part of the world. The A-side gets you to The Barents Sea which is somewhere in the Arctic Ocean. You hear field recordings (cracking ice, wind), all added with minimal electronics. Weird, but in a way thrilling ….

The flipside takes you to the Sundarbans, a place in the east of India where you can hear wild animals (from crocodiles to birds).

Hmmmm, National Geographic on vinyl then? Almost…..
