Listen to Where The Wolf Has Been Seen
A collaboration between P. Maze of Orphan Swords fame and producer/musician Otto Lindholm, as Maze & Lindholm the pair breed a very atypical landscape armed with double bass and electronics on this fascinating debut.
“Part I” starts the listen with a mysterious atmosphere as dark, cinematic qualities emerge from the low droning of precise texturing, and “Part II” continues the creativity with nearly sci-fi noises that are buried between the ominous landscape and electronic manipulation.
The second half of the listen takes a similar course, where “Part III” pairs experimental stabs into the tense climate, and “Part IV” exits the listen with an unorthodox intimacy amid minimal song craft that’s turned into a refined science.
You’re not likely to hear anything else out there that sounds like Where The Wolf Has Been Seen, as the Brussels pair recruit and execute classical and electronic tonalities with an exciting and captivating vision.
