MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS
Souvaris "I felt nothing at all" CD (Bearos Records)
Amazing four song album by this six piece band from the UK. The songs, all instrumental, each approach the 20 minute mark... with layers upon layers of sound, repeated and subtly evolving themes carry you into a wordless yet emotionally rich musical landscape. Excellent.
For King-Cat readers: I designed the album artwork, with full color digipak sleeves, and a 12 page booklet featuring an exclusive 6 page comic story.
From the Bearos website:
"Souvaris are a six piece instrumental band. They [explore] tone, melody, rhythm and noise in vast and intricately constructed arrangements designed to envelop and overwhelm the audience - you don't so much listen to their music as feel it.
The obvious reference points are gods of post-rock like Labradford, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, AerialM and Mogwai. In the presence of such big boys of the scene it's something of a feat in itself that Souvaris have managed to carve their initials into the playground post-rock tree. They impressed John Peel with their debut demo CD-R which went straight from post tray to play list.
Since this the band have released singles for Telesphere Records and a split 7" with The Workhouse on Awkward Silence."
"[a] rare essence of complete vastness and beauty that‚s almost untranslatable."
