About this product
Lost Tribe Sound presents two albums from the Danish trio, Skyphone. 'Marsh Drones,' their first new album in over 5 years, will be released along side their previous album 'Hildur' (appearing on vinyl for the first time) on August 23rd, 2019. The marsh land areas of western Jutland in Denmark can be flat and non-distinct to the visitor who only takes a quick glance at it. But when you are born and raised in those parts, and when you travel away to live, work, raise families, play music, anything to escape the rainy flatlands, you think about that landscape differently. On Marsh Drones, the weirdness of this landscape is reimagined in a kind of giddy, absentminded way, as though they try to recall not only the broad topographical scheme of the land (cultivated, industrialized, farmed, soggy with seawater, a breach of the ditches that pours cold north sea water inland, the farms and waterways overflowing), but only the detailed, grainy realness of sediments and layers of soil, of the hazy and salty light (Saltlys) that wraps the landscape in a kind of palpable inertia.Many of the ideas on the 'Marsh Drones' emerged from field recordings from the area around the Tønder marshlands recorded by various members of the band. They provided a backdrop to the loops and long guitar session of guitar, bass, synthesizers, and samples that were slowly mangled and rearranged into counterpointing and fugue-like melodies, insistent on repetition while odd atmospheres of distant drones and noise works to modify and shift the composition into new shapes. The music is minimal, restrained, but rich in detail like the landscape it attempts to resonate with. There are remnants of folk music, melodies that are almost recognizable, but dub music and something distinctly digital intersects itself into the woodwork and authenticity.Bird murmurations cloud a setting sun, they settle in the reeds

Lost Tribe Sound is honored present two albums from the Danish trio, Skyphone. 'Marsh Drones,' their first new album in over 5 years, will be released along side their previous album 'Hildur' on August 23rd, 2019. While 'Hildur' was digitally self-released to a limited audience back in 2014, LTS felt the album deserved far more attention than it received. Plus, what could be more satisfying than hearing it on high quality vinyl for the first time.Our admiration for Skyphone's music has gone on longer than LTS has been in existence, beginning with the of their first album 'Fabula' on Norwegian tag, Rune Grammaphon in 2004. Our first experience came during the Mary Anne Hobbs show, when the song InchKinamands ChanceInch came on the air. The music felt alive, there was a delicate warmth to it all it's own. Even if the music could be lazily classified as electronic, the sonic components felt as if they'd been 3D printed, then hand-aged by a smith. It had this incredibly tactile feel to it, as if these sound objects were in the same room as us, skittering about, performing ear-bending stunts and blurring the lines between the acoustic instruments and their synthetic counterparts. From that moment on we were hooked, keeping a close ear on Skyphone's music ever since. It's quite surreal to now be helping to the trio to not one but two albums. Though we'd stop shy of declaring Skyphone the Godfather's of this type of highly intricate electro-acoustic music, they definitely brought new levels of inventiveness and authenticity to the scene. They are masterful at combining a multitude of instruments and genres that could easily go wrong in lesser hands, where rogue electronic rhythms, half-drunken synths, and slow burning jazz and dub fueled progressions give way to velvet-coated layers of guitar. It's the kind of music where anything seems possible.'Hildur' was recorded at

Double vinyl LP pressing. What started out as the design and build of his Masters thesis at the University of California, San Diego, the DRONE MACHINES soon become the subject matter of Tristan Shone's third album as Author & Punisher. For those unaware, A&P is an industrial doom metal, one man band utilizing primarily custom designed and fabricated machines and speakers. The devices draw heavily on aspects of industrial automation and robotics, focusing on the eroticism of interaction with machine. The machines are designed to require significant force from the performer, aligning he or she with the plodding doom influenced sounds that are created. 'DRONE MACHINES' is the heaviest of the A&P albums and also the longest at around 70 minutes. Album Tracks 1. Sand, Wind and Carcass 2. Burrow Below 3. Doppler 4. Beginning of End 5. Skies O'er 6. NTG Part 1 - Time 7. NTG Part 2 - Pressure 8. Lust for Scales 9. Blue Flame 10. Throttle and Hymn 11. Final Hours
