‹Sylt›, new Icarus album, out now
Finally it’s out: the new Icarus album ‹Sylt› has been released on Rump last month. Imagine listening to Squarepusher, Edgard Varèse and Evan Parker at the same time, while watching the ascent of the Mont Ventoux in the Tour de France, comfortably seated in a running washing machine. The future of something is here, and is named after a small island off the coast of Denmark. Don’t try it, buy it.
«deliciously and maddeningly unclassifiable» - Chris Sharp, The Wire
«Sam Britton and Ollie Bown create uncompromising experimental improvised music that manages to be at once evocative and captivating, and Sylt only serves to strongly reinforce their vision» - themilkfactory
«Another instant hit with early jungle aficionados, tired of recycled dance floor cliches, but also with hardcore academic music contemporaries and improvised music fans in search for sonic imagination.» - audioculture.org
