BLACK COTTAGE RECORDS

Random, at times disturbing. Other times, the listener is left wondering: are we not privy to someone else’s inside joke? Is this a joke? It seems Rasmus Birk is having a whole lot of fun. But at who’s expense? You could say they put the “mental” in “experimental.” These tunes contain a patchwork of bizarre lo-fi samples and fragmented chatter, yet there are enough listenable, chilled-out moments to ask: what’s all the nutty stuff about? You then fear the nutty stuff will return. Soon, you want it to return. And it does! File under lo-fi experimental chill, cut and paste noise, and sampled absurdities.
