Was Ist Das? video reviews

WAS IST DAS? has a tradition of doing video reviews. Recently Ned, Mr. Was Ist Das, made one of the lastest Gonzalez & Steenkiste tape and a while ago he also did one on the Hellvete / Jake Blanchard split tape from last year. Check out both videos below.

Hellvete / Jake Blanchard – Split Cassette

Hellvete / Jake Blanchard

Split Cassette

Hellvete is Glen Steenkiste (Gonzalez & Steenkiste, Sylvester Anfang), here we have 3 distinctly different tracks, ranging from delicate percussion, zoned out drones and banjo plucking. It’s impossible not to get lost in this music, long tracks of sustained drones with subtle textures and layers building and fading.

This is the second release from Jake after his debut on Feathered Coyote. Often using hand made instruments Jake weaves blissful drones with primitve rhythm and melody at times harmonious and euphoric giving way to distorted and dissonant.

Limited to only 75 copies with artwork by Jake Blanchard on pro-dubbed cassettes.
