Delay Lama
Mk. I


"Mk. I" is an EP collecting several recordings made by Dennis Block between 1997 and 2000. Way back before he made his mark as part of the noisepop band Strumm. Also before Delay Lama transformed into a duo when Rune Sørensen came onboard.
The music on "Mk. I" moves between beatless, menacing drones over widescreen soundscapes to jittery rhythmic elements that circle beneath the evocative notes. All done live and recorded analogue. The music was remastered and remixed in 2008 for this release.

REVIEWS

"It feels really nice to get your ears cleaned out with the sound of Delay Lama's 'Mk. 1.' (...) What originally might have been simple experiments with riffs, noise and song structures has been cut and criss-crossed, effect-processed and assimilated into a fluid, fascinating sequence that moves on the line between drone and noise. (...) It creates it's own universe that is ambiguous and underproduced, gloomy and disturbing, but not anxious to please or sadistically punishing. Ideas follow ideas in a room that might be for 'advanced listeners', but actually is pleasant - at times even fun - to be in. Because of the playfulness that seems to have pervaded the abrupt piano notes and odd guitar treatments on the original recordings are still there. The result is a beautiful and strange product that actually deserves a recommendation."
- Cd review by Danish independent music magazine Geiger.

 

 
"This is essentially one long track that begins like a fuzzy humming drone piece but becomes more rhythmical as it evolves. Then different parts are more minimal with strange guitar and electronic sounds and peculiar bleeps and frequencies. Curious and interesting."
Norman Records rating: 'Happy'
