ÜL are an
Argentinian trio (formed in 2006) comprised of Alan Courtis
(Reynols), Fernando
Perales and Charly Zaragoza.
As the title suggests this album released on Zhelezobeton in
2008 (limited edition of 250 copies) is their third album. They like to explore
the timbric possibilities of the electric guitar. They combine elements of
drone, noise, rock, psychedelia, musique concrete, electroacoustic with a sense
of free improvisation in mind. I never jumped into the Maeror Tri /
Troum
bandwagon. They process electric guitar sounds beyond recognition in order to
create floating soundscapes (almost ambient noise territory here). In the case
of ÜL there
approach is far more interesting. There`s 8 tracks for a total running time of
47.03 minutes. They like to improvise / experiment and it shows. You will hear
various styles at work layers of processed electric guitar generating an outer
worldly ambience (tracks # 1, 2), distorted high pitch guitar (track # 6),
walls of dark lo-fi ambient noise the end result of more guitar processing
(tracks # 4, 5), synthesizer with guitar drones (track # 3) and processed
rhythmic sounds with loops, found sounds (tracks # 7, 8). Fans of commercial
music beware this baby`s not for you. Recommended for curious people with an
open mind. This CD will definitely be your cup of tea. More information
