The mystique surrounding the making of this record is enough to make one take the great music on it for granted. This Italian quartet initiated a courtship with Young God's Michael Gira by sending him bizarrely packaged CDRs with varying contents, thus enabling Gira to acquaint himself with the band's sound and range. For what purpose was unknown to him at the time. Following a series of these discs, Gira received a final package that included a round-trip flight to Italy and a sum of money -- t   [ read more ]

La Fever Lit is Larsen's eighth album in 13 years of activity, and their first studio album since 2006, after the double live CD/DVD set Abeceda. Featuring legendary dub diva/post-punkcabaret icon Little Annie a.k.a. Annie Anxiety a.k.a. Annie Bandez (Crass, NWW, Coil, C93), La Fever Lit could be considered the most focused Larsen album yet, but at the same time it's also their most experimental and floating. Cinematic pop, illuminating rhythms, musical weightlessness, and the nocturnal   [ read more ]

Ciautistico! is the debut album from XXL (Xiu Xiu Larsen), a collaboration between the Italian experimental cult band Larsen and James Stewart's mutated-pop project Xiu Xiu. Both groups consider their joint creative clash as a new band in itself more than just an occasional collaboration as it has been already proved by the succesful sold out theater performances in Italy by XXL. Edited out of long and intense jam sessions the sound of Ciautistico! is totally schizophrenic, swinging   [ read more ]

It's ironic that an electronics-reliant duo notorious for complex and difficult productions had an involuntary hand in the making of an instrumental rock album so simple, natural, and flat-out gorgeous. Play is Larsen's third studio album in eight years. They weren't merely inspired by Autechre, as indicated in the inner sleeve. Rather than write material the old-fashioned way, the band took some of the groundbreaking experimental techno duo's melodies and improvised around them, which eventu   [ read more ]

Larsen are a quartet of Italian musicians whose apparently mainstream instrumentation (two guitars, bass, and drums along with the occasional glockenspiel or shruti box) masks a deeply strange sonic temperament. And good for them. SeieS is their fifth album, and the palindromic structure of its nonsense title is a good indication of what you'll hear: most of the seven tracks on the program are slow pieces that sway between two chords, offering little in the way of internal logic (when there are words    [ read more ]
