It's a slippery █ █ fucker, and the hole is there so you can hold on to it during █ █ preparation and indulgence. The Dutch version of the donut is █ █ called oliebol - literally, ball of oil - and for some probably █ █ cunningly commercial reason it lacks the hole. It's just a █ █ slippery sphere. Irresistible, but unmanageable. Another Dutch █ █ treat is Distel. Although irresistible, the music they make is █ █ nothing like an oliebol. The sounds they sculpt are, invariably, █ █ perfectly distinct and tangible to such an extent that the first █ █ time you hear them, they sound oddly familiar. Highly unlikely, █ █ since they are all prepared according to a secret recipie and did █ █ not exist in the material world before Distel coerced their █ █ modular and digital devices to produce them. Distel's got the █ █ definition and clarity of Kraftwerk, coupled with a vividly █ █ imaginative repertoire that surpasses the German stiffening █ █ lumbar foursome by leaps. █ █ █ █ You might have heard people liken Distel to bands such as Coil or █ █ the Knife. With the release of the new 7" EP nord, however, it █ █ becomes strikingly apparent that Distel has a unique voice, sonic █ █ vernacular and style of their own. When this gets out, read my █ █ oily lips, people will start likening stuff to Distel instead of █ █ the other way round. █ █ █ █ The sleek black 7" has got two snappy songs on side A and a more █ █ temperately paced song for a B-side. █ █ █ █ The first song, nord, is a skilful juggling of analog & digital, █ █ harmony & detune, atomic, tonal waveforms & noise of various █ █ flavors. Not to mention one of the most catchy, bouncy, spacious █ █ yet intimate set of jittery frequencies that has soared through █ █ the ether for a long, long time. Fills the heart with joy, and █ █ the most delicate seasoning of arrhythmia. █ █ █ █ The second song, zelv, is a haunting, unraveling tale of █ █ exceptional lyrical and musical consonance. It's also full of █ █ non-gimmicky, diegetic musical surprises. Snappy, pneumatic and █ █ impossible to listen to - passively. █ █ █ █ The third song, bogarting the entire flipside of the single, is █ █ called raaf. It would be a crime to try to describe this song █ █ without going through some of the basics first. Back in the 16th █ █ century, Galileo Galilei penned something he called the Principle █ █ of Similitude. Contrary to what it literally means today, this █ █ theory set out to highlight the physical limits and █ █ dissimilarities of the natural world. A tree can grow very tall. █ █ But it can never grow taller than about 100 meters, due to █ █ mechanical constraints. These constraints can be bluntly █ █ explained as: any increase in size of a physical body results in █ █ the surface area increasing as a square, while the volume and █ █ corresponding weight increases as a cube. A flea can fall from █ █ any height without sustaining any damage upon landing. A cat can █ █ fall from several meters up a tree without damage when it hits █ █ the ground, since its body surface is like a parachute in █ █ relation to its tiny weight. An elephant, on the other hand, can █ █ not even fall one meter without breaking its legs, essentially █ █ making it a feature, not a flaw that it can't jump. Galileo's █ █ theory was a sucker punch to the widely popular Hermeticism at █ █ the time. The 'as above, so below' reasoning suffered a severe █ █ blow, when Galileo showed that there was a striking dissimilarity █ █ between different tiers of nature, with mathematical proof to █ █ boot. █ █ █ █ What a welcome turn of events, then, that the final song of the █ █ new Distel single manages to finaly break the asphyxiating █ █ Galilean envelope that has constrained the world for so long. █ █ Who's to tell how tall a tree must grow? The heavily stomping █ █ stride of raaf succeeds in breaking Galileo's Principle of █ █ Similitude simply by being like an elephant nimbly neurodancing. █ █ The clean, clear-cut sounds that make up this song all seem to █ █ emanate from real appliances and gadgets. Things that have █ █ another primary function, like, perhaps, a vacuum cleaner. Closer █ █ scrutiny reveals these are not real-world sounds at all. They're █ █ just that tangible and eerily pseudo-familiar that their sonic █ █ qualities are equated, in our premature minds, with functional █ █ mechanical qualities. Another up yours to Galileo. █ █ █ █ This single is a sure-fire musical milestone. Hear it for the █ █ first time and realize, the reason it sounds so familiar and █ █ obvious is not because you have ever heard anything like it █ █ before. Rather it is because, in the future (readily present to █ █ the sentient), you will have listened to it thousands of times █ █ already. █ █ █ ▀██▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀██▀ █░:iMPORTANT STATEMENT_ ░█ █ █ █ This release is for preview.
