Out of Minneapolis (USA) comes Karamazov, a solo project infused with collaborations from a wide range of artists, coalescing into an expansive hybrid of cinematic, electronic and noise rock-based soundscapes. The new outfit has completed its debut recordings, Self-Control EP : 23:28, and is streaming several tracks from the record.
From the ashes of defunct Minneapolis-based grindcore nomads Ambassador Gun arises Karamazov, the brainchild of Luke Olson, which he began in 2014 between recording and touring with his other acts, Blue Ox, and the now defunct Ambassador Gun. Having no prior experience handing studio production, Olson took his longtime affinity for electronic music and homed in on the construction of a new type of music, beginning with simple guitar riffs, and following with the addition of percussion, synth, and other electronic elements. After several years of learning and layering, Karamazov now presents its debut Self-Control EP : 23:28.
Olson states, "I felt there was an opportunity to give the record a human touch and knew plenty of talented musicians from the Twin Cities to work with. I invited five people to contribute their interpretation and have the freedom to add whatever they felt. This recording was inspired, laborious and rewarding and I'm very excited to share with the world."
The Self-Control EP : 23:28 will see digital release on 18th August and two tracks are already available for streaming, so give a listen to both, "Triangle" and "Sleepwreck", in the player below. A video for the track "Collapser" and more from the EP will be issued in the coming days. Link
