This just landed on my digital desktop. A live performance by drone/synth rockers Emeralds from the 2010 Unsound Festival. I’ve never heard of them before, but I’m blown away… 35 minutes of epic greatness.

But it’s actually my best attempt to describe what the Norwegian band Ulver is doing.

First a black metal band, then an electronica act, then noise/glitch geeks, then sound track composers and now a full blown music freak show. Avantgarde? You bet. And cool as hell (not a great metaphor, to be honest, but it fits). Ulver plays tomorrow night in Aarhus at Voxhall – and I’ll be there enjoying every minute.
