Album Gnäw I reviewed by Daryl Worthington, in @thequietus . '' The next few years are likely to be dominated by collaborations recorded remotely during Covid, but Gnäw, Iranian born Arash Ghasemi and Finland’s Simo Hakalisto managed to make these tracks face-to-face in Prague. Ghasemi plays a selection of traditional instruments, setar, pump organ and percussion, processed through Hakalisto’s modular synths. The acoustic sounds dominate, whether it’s the brittle plucks of ‘Mirha’, the pulsing percussion driving ‘Waters Of Ether’, or the languid flurries of ‘Marras’. The meditations on eastern scales are effortlessly encased in electronic warmth and drenched vocals, synthetic and organic becoming completely symbiotic. Hakalisto says Ciat-Lonbarde Tocantes instruments – electronic devices where pitch is controlled by moving hands on a touch pad – were a big part of the compositions. That tactility is keenly felt, as though the pair hoisted a big block of esoteric sound in the air and moulded it into these blissfully scorched, psychedelic jams '' . . /articles/30034-prolaps-rose-bolton-moon-glyph-review?fbclid=IwAR2_igzFafuQmUt2YXR0tY89FIBMsZKUDB5WR6YCKkA64oE5KD_2ZEyM6g8
