Description
2025, 12″ LP, Felt.
Civilistjavel! returns with a seven-track exploration of melancholic soundscapes, further developing the sonic territory charted in Brodfoda. Tomas Boden’s work, released on FELT, continues to weave together beauty and dread, employing a deliberately slow tempo that conjures a sense of isolated, arctic air. This LP builds organically upon the foundations of Brodfoda. ‘XIII”s unsettling hum transitions smoothly into the dusky textures of ‘XIV’. The dewy ambience of ‘XV’ precedes the hypnotic, shadowy dub of ‘XVI’. ‘XVII”s windswept, acid-tinged interlude then segues into the introspective drones of ‘XVIII’. The collection concludes with ‘XIX’, where Thomas Bush’s crooning vocals offer a hint of dawn, intertwining with organs, guitars and subtle sound design. A powerful emotional impact through minimalist means, skilled storytelling at its best.
