Oren Ambarchi- Mort Aux Vaches




Meaning ‘Kill the Cows’ in French, which is a phrase which essentially means ‘kill the pigs (cops)’ Mort Aux Vaches is a series of ambient album curated by Staalplaat records in the Netherlands. The back catalouge from this series is incredible and im really trying hard to find some more releases. People such as Flying Saucer Attack, Merzbow, and Tim Hecker have all contributed to the series.

To the album… I don’t understand it. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not incessantly intrigued to find out what it means. Similar to releases from Stars of the Lid, the album reaches an aural level that very few other artists achieve. It is so sparce, so infrequent and unpredictable that the soft chiming, distorted notes dip in and out of ones consience. To grasp onto the music is as hard a task as catching a fish with ones bare hands.

Beautiful.

I wonder what it sounds like on vinyl.
