I present the new demo from English dreamnoise weirdos I Am A Lake Of Burning Orchids.
"Morning / Hands" is a big step up from "Summer in My Veins", their first demo, which was a challenging exercise in noise distortion and a far less substantial number in both sound and structure. This time around IAALOBO dives right in to the very depths of melancholy & despair, opting for flowing electroscapes and gentle, dreamy melodies overlayed with a lighter coating of "Summer...." styled feedback. It kinda makes me think of Enigma fucking around with audacity or something (for lack of a better description).
There's a few black metal vocals, voice samples and barely audible whispers thrown in here and there for good measure, too. I wouldn't call "Morning / Hands" black metal though, or even blackgaze for that matter - fuck, actually it's not noise either, or pop, or ambient or any kind of "music" I can really think of. This is something else entirely. "Dreamnoise" is what I really want to call it.
"Sojourn" is especially gorgeous; actually the whole demo is when the mood is right. If you have an open mind and 25 minutes to spare give it a shot.
Here's hoping IAALOBO can step it up again.
