Organ Of Corti - Fanaticus (CD)
New Forces – NF147 - 2024 - USA
"Fanaticus is the new full length album from Organ Of Corti, the trio of Dan Johansson (Sewer Election), Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies), and Joachim Nordwall (iDEAL, The Skull Defekts). A significant evolution from 2022's Auris, also released on New Forces, Fanaticus blends tape loops and analog synths into a claustrophobic exhibition of tense and curious sound. Each of these seven tracks has a depth to it that demands repeated listening. Fanaticus deftly weaves together the subtle nuances of scratchy tape heads and twitching electronics. Machines hum, sputter, and crackle as they fail; they are simultaneously reborn and given new life through the particular alchemy that is Organ Of Corti. The pinnacle of Swedish experimental sound.
