Ville Moskiitto - Retkikertomuksia [Barl Fire Recordings - 2007]Retkikertomuksia presents us with a collection of eerier, barren and often awarkward avant folk, come improvised sawing and sour droning tracks. That wails and moans of dead winter husks and bitterly cold melancholy cloud-ness nights. The main use of instrumentation seems to be guitar and possible violin or some other kind of string based interments. Most of the tracks appear in the same way with tight sawing and grating string work, that offers very little in the form of conventional or pleasing melodies. A few of the tracks do offer up bleak & pleasing grim drone atmospherics that are underpinned by eerier melodies trails like blood running through snow. One of the stand out moments here comes in the shape of one of those tracks entitled Tästä eteenpäin, which introduced by a twanging string element under laid by a sinister midnight in a frozen ghost house drone, you can almost see you breath as the track slides sourly out, almost sensing dark eyes watching your every move. A barren often jagged and difficult collection of tracks, which often shows traces of dark angular beauty. To find out more and buy direct go here    Roger Batty
