Dubtapes Volume 1 by Klangkollektor came out a year ago on Jason Boardman's Before I Die label. Volume 2 was released last Friday, a four track EP, four more slices of dub space, slo mo drums, echo and piano. All four tracks are superb, the opener Ferry From Torkwrith setting the scene- langourous, beatific Balearic dub from Berlin, music to hide inside, to temporarily block the out the outside world with. Second track Morning Hour is slightly more sunlit, a guitar joining the mix. Starlings sets off with birdsong and the thud of a kick drum, a wave of synth chord and some bass guitar, unhurried and mellow. Fourth track Isle Of Stonsey drifts in, a nine minute excursion into a chilled out version of space, Hawaiian guitar and dub bass prodding us gently into the cosmos. Lovely stuff. It's at Bandcamp, available in digital and vinyl formats.
Klangkollektor is Lars Fischer, the drummer of Trak Trak, a psychedelic Cumbia band from Berlin. Klangkollektor is a side project that he's been working on for some time, mastered by the legendary Conny Plank.
