about

In the midst of writing their second long player, avant rock trio Hyrrokkin rerecorded three of their earliest pieces with engineer Jason LaFarge (Swans, Devendra Banhart, Haitian Rail, Angels of Light) at Seizures Palace in Brooklyn. A celebration of the band's inception- vital days marked by endless of hours of practice and pontification, with at least one member living in the practice space- the group invited friends and influences to remix and re-compose the three pieces. To cap off the project, New Atlantis Records will release the music as 7" singles in hand-screened jackets, with their remixes on the B-Side.

Sephfus, the first release of the series, is a dynamic piece with an electric backbone, marrying odd-time signatures to free-time, scattershot bursts of searing improvisation. The tune bears the influence of both the discordant rock music of the Washington DC/Chicago underground, and the climactic formulations of free jazz/energy music. Hyrrokkin, in their welcome abundance of angularity and dissonance, offer something genuinely new to the devout consumer of new music- through eschewing repetition and embracing a broad range of influence, the trio are expanding the compositional lexicon of free-ranging rock music. Meanwhile, the name 'Sephfus' was gleaned from a decrepit mailbox in front of a camper in Ohio's amish country.

Sephfus is bundled with Same Size in the Sky on the flipside- a reinterpretation of the piece by the mighty percussionist Doug Scharin under the Activities of Dust moniker. The fluid timekeeping for which he is best known (with legendary creative rock units June of 44, Codeine, Rex, H.I.M., and more) is on full display here… The remix offsets the churning rhythm of the initial piece with electronic accents on the upbeat, and the guitar is filtered through a wall of dubbed-out sound.

Grip your copy on September 23 via New Atlantis! In fact, why not go ahead and snag it on transparent red vinyl while you can. Such is the nature of consumption.

Bloor is one of those bands you comb through your album library for a reference point, it is many things, and to cite one would do a disservice once the next song begins. Free is a given, a repetition establishes a pattern, the pattern indicates a direction, a left is taken, somehow you are back at the point of departure. One could suggest a seatbelt. Mighttheone
