Luctíssono - Noite e Neblina [Funeral Fog - 2014]

Noite e Neblina offers up a selection of lo-fi, muffed & difficult to define dark ambience from this Brazilian one man project, which apparently has some connections with-in the Brazilian black metal underground.

The release comes in the form of a c42 tape on Sweden’s noise/ambient/ experimental darkness label Funeral Fog. The tapes comes in a double sided fold out sleeve that takes in a black ‘n’ white picture of a mist engulfed landscape, and  the release comes in edition of forty copies.

According to the labels website, the album was created with a mixture of  distorted guitars, synths and field recordings. And I’d add to this list a very hissing & basic tape recorded too, as the whole thing is bathed in this very muffled & washed-out production.

The tape takes in six tracks in all-three per side of tape. Each of the tracks is built around extremely murky, dead-slow and seemingly structure-less sonic drift of the following elements: webs of shifted ‘n’ blurred ambient tone, eerier ebbs of subtle yet wavering guitar shift,  hovering sustains of dread filled lo-fi keyboard textures, buried & subtle shifting scrapes 'n' drags, slowed down industrial drones ‘n’ rumble, feedback buzz ‘n’ weave, and other muffled yet ill defined textural flotsam & jetsam.

As a whole I’d say the release has an fairly effective eerier & grim feel to it, yet sadly most of the tracks here seem to lack any form of structure, or firm textural patterns- so as a result each track sort of drifts & ebbs along with little shape or purpose. I guess out of the two sides, the second sides tracks seem to have slightly more defined shape & eerier harmonic flow to them….but even these start to fall apart under close listening. 

So to sum-up Noite e Neblina is really all atmosphere, and no depth of composition…so I guess if your after eerier & bleack background ambience, this is fine- but if you listen to your ambience in any close or detailed manner, I think you’ll find this release too structure-less, vague & unfocused.
