Ulver
Ulver - biography
We needed to be alone, without the hustle and bustle of the living.We are uncomfortable with the world, the industry and our place.We have been working, sluggishly, well aware we could end up with nothing.Nonetheless we believe we have succeeded in giving our fears some kind of form.ULVER, Oslo, July 13 2007."Ulver were once a seminal black metal band.But even in a scene that sent shockwaves around the world, Ulver were outsiders.While other black metallers were "slaves to the one with horns", Ulver were inspired by Thomas Kingo, a 17th century composer of psalms.Techno auteurs Autechre rubbed shoulders with visionary mystic William Blake.Ulver have released acoustic folk albums and instrumental techno records, raw metal and industrial soundscapes, and they have composed music for films.I'd like to say that they are equally comfortable with whatever medium they choose, but that would be a lie.This makes every new release from Ulver interesting because you not only have to ask "is it good?"Ulver, that's a redundant question) but "what kind of music is it?"This might sound like a paradox, but Ulver thrive on such paradoxes.It sees Ulver abandon many of their grand concepts, to focus on music and human emotion.Pamelia Kurstin help make SHADOWS OF THE SUN a piece of rare beauty.SHADOWS OF THE SUN sees Ulver borrow some pigments from David Sylvian's palette, using it to transport their own visions onto the canvas.Incidentally, Austrian audio abstracter Christian Fennesz, an associate of Sylvian, also help make this album what it is.Other comparions could be made.But such comparisons only cheapen, because Ulver really don't sound like anybody you already know.I'd call them "lone wolves", but I've promised the band to lay off the wolf jokes.DERLIND
PUBLIC RELATIONS AND POLITICS
