Oranssi Pazuzu - Valonielu (Bandcamp)
Experimental in a dissonant way. Building mostly around a singular note, and then swelling into a large crescendo, with cascading waves upon waves of repeater effects, and quirky keyboard textures.
It is this outside the box approach that gives Oranssi Pazuzu a very different complexion to music style or what is expected with textural compositions.
There are monster riffs encased around what are supposed to be grandiose soundscapes, but this is re-arranged to take the listener into a journey of stark contrast of sound. This record to me is a painting consisting of mental vortexes of thought, dripping into various levels of sonic overload. Valonielu is structurally sound in foundation, but there are various hints of fusion, and melody.
My head space definitely gets this because its complex enough to poke at what my expectations are. I am very grateful for stumbling upon this. I am eager to hear the first two records from this Finnish band. Thanks for reading.
