Info: | SIXTH JUNE have just released their
great album ‘Stay’, and they are already releasing
another record. „1984“ is not a
“new” album, but it is very special in several
asspects. It was created in 2021 during the pandemic and has so far
only been released digitally. Musically, it stands out - like so many
works created during this time - from the usual Electro-Wave/Minimal-
Synth sound that SIXTH JUNE is otherwise known for. Obviously, the
lockdown period inspired many musicians to create more experimental
music, and this is no exception. „1984“ is gloomy,
dark and experimental. The 40+ minute composition - the term
‘song’ would not do the work justice - is based on
a short bass line that runs hypnotically through the entire track and
is complemented by other sounds. An often slightly discordant saxophone
is used, supported by dark Space-Synths and noises such as rushing
water...all nearly completely instrumental. If you didn't know it was
SIXTH JUNE, you wouldn't suspect the duo behind it. Instead of
danceable catchy tunes, listeners are presented with ambient
soundscapes that are more than occasionally reminiscent of very early
Coil material („How to destroy Angels“...). Not
quite as nihilistic, of course. But a few echoes of 70s Kraut
electronics or instrumental Legendary Pink Dots also come to mind. The
few vocal parts also bring Lycia to rememberance. If you only know
SIXTH JUNE through their ‘hits’, you might find
„1984“ a little difficult to listen. |
