Vipcancro – Tropico CD<\/p>\n

Lisca Records<\/a><\/p>\n

Vipcancro is a new project to me and appears to have been going since 2008. Not new, but not too old either. With Tropico they present about an hour of rough-around-the-edges but well crafted ambient noise.<\/p>\n

The sounds are wallowing and contemplative, lo-fi yet with an academic edge that adds just a touch of sheen to the production. Slow moving but with a healthy dosage of layers Vipcancro succeeds in creating atmospheres with some depth on Tropico.<\/p>\n

The album evolves nicely with the tracks becoming more engrossing the deeper we go. I<\/i> and II<\/i> I find rather forgettable, but by the time III<\/i> rolls around Vipcancro is actually exploring a little bit of their own style. It reminds me a bit of Oblivion Ensemble with many different sounds and layers colliding into one. Some tracks feature more gradual movement and minimalist atmospheres though, like the 16 minute IV<\/i> which takes it’s time to unfold. <\/p>\n

Definitely a neat release here, appealing to the more academic side of sound collage, drone, and musique concrete enthusiasts. Somewhere in between Contagious Orgasm and Hoor-Paar-Krat as a starting point. Worth mentioning is the nice golden sparkly silkscreen on heavy textured paper that encapsulates the disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
