Milkmort

a review by gil gershman of
release format Milkmort by Ultra Milkmaids (CD Album)

text

On this mini-album, prepared for VPRO Netherlands DJ Bernie Kamer's live-on-air Mort Aux Vaches performances, remaining Ultra Milkmaid brother Y.R. projects unquiet ambience in which unseen beings scuttle hither and thither and strange little eyes blink, pinpoints of watery brightness in a light-starved den. Ultra Milkmaids adhere to the principles of oblique soundscaping as laid down by Robin Rimbaud, letting "Renes 4" and "VOR" pour out as a tonal soup of enmeshed electronic and organic sound, diverting the quicksilver rivulets through courses seeded with metallic and mechanical disruptions. The especially vivid "Juble 2" seems to have been rerouted through a copse of gnarled mangroves on the banks of some muggy Florida swamp, as the piece is alive with amphibian and avian commentary. "DIPR" (with E. Haubry) takes an entirely different approach, surging in uninterrupted ripples and swells nearly as majestic as Stars of the Lid's incremental-drone ravishments and as hallowed as the analogue hymns of Thorn Hoedh. Not exactly what you'd expect from a project which shares its name with a series of XXX-rated lactation videos. That is just a coincidence, right?
