Description

Album · 2012 · 18 Songs.

By now Demdike Stare is more than just an occult new project from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty. In the last couple of years, since the initial release of Symbiosis (2009) followed by Voices Of Dust (2010), Liberation Through Hearing (2010) and Forest Of Evil (2010), the duo has swept the music scene off of its seemingly stable base with a collection of dark ambient, experimental, and crate-digger’s delightful tunes

Elemental (Demdike Stare album). Elemental is a compilation album by Demdike Stare, released on February 27, 2012 by Modern Love Records. It compiles the group's last three EPs, including Chrysanthe & Violetta, Rose and Iris.

Demdike Stare - Elemental Demdike Stare's spooky sound arrived at a moment in which there was an upswing in the dark stuff across the whole spectrum of electronic music. Their early series of releases on Modern Love was a prismatic refraction of the possibilities of the hauntological, found-sound realm. Their debut album Symbiosis was a ghostly walk through dark English woods of fog and drone, Forest of Evil saw them incorporate throbbing dub, Liberation Through Hearing ambient techno and other rhythmic experiments and things finished up with Voices of Dust, a release laced with the most.

On Elemental, Demdike Stare give us glimmers of melody - looped chimes or listless piano figures - shivering out from the cloud of reverb, but for the most part what we get are dub shadows of songs, low on contrast and grainy with dust particles, uncanny echoes and malevolent drones.

By now Demdike Stare is more than just an occult new project from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty. In the last couple of years, since the initial release of Symbiosis (2009) followed by Voices Of Dust (2010), Liberation Through Hearing (2010) and Forest Of Evil (2010), the duo has swept the music scene off of its seemingly stable base with a collection of dark ambient, experimental, and crate-digger’s delightful tunes. The collage of sounds gathered, treated, and re-spun in every single release has gained critical acclaim across a range of genre specific output, at times yielding its very own – hauntology.Elemental is a series that is split into four parts: the first two parts, Chrysanthe and Violetta, are released together in 2011; and the last two, Rose and Iris, are sold and released separately in 2012, each pressed on a limited colored vinyl and available together in a double CD. The sounds of Elemental are even darker than the predecessor, Tryptych, series. Something supernatural, opaque and ghastly crawls beneath the crackling surface of the record, slithering like a fuzzy centipede inside your ear canal.The haunting ambiance of Elemental will scare even the angriest ghosts away, shattering their fragile bones with the growling bass, and piercing the eye sockets with deadly shrapnel of sound. While concrete percussion seems to be absent, there’s a skeleton of techno and even dubstep rhythm filled with hypnotic, ethnic and exotic elements. A beautiful addition to the celebrated catalog of obscure, esoteric and collectible sound.Modern Love wants to point out that the material on the vinyl edition is altered from the double CD version compiling the series. This unique cutting contains some hidden locked grooves and specially commissioned artwork by Andy Votel. Highly recommended along with previous releases from Whittaker and Canty!

Does anyone else who owns the CD edition hear unnatural vinyl pops in 'All This Is Ours (Sunrise)', for instance at 1:05 and 3:02? Obviously there is a very textured sound in most of these songs, but these seem noticeably artificial...

Yes, I know what you're talking about.
Kabandis Kabandis
Yes. It's all part of the track...;-)

The pops are hardware clicks from a filter unit, this track has no samples.
