"Sewer Election is Dan Johansson, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is most known for his extreme and nasty noise on often limited edition cassettes and obscure vinyl releases on labels such as iDEAL, Troniks, Chondritic Sound, Release the Bats!, Freak Animal, Segerhuva, Gameboy to name a few.. He is a member of the swedish collective Utmarken and lo-fi group Ättestupa. Following on from his Kassettmusik release, this new album is an evolution in field recordings and voice recorded to mono tape. The record shows the development of aggressive blur building up to ominous restraint, tape speed replacing effect pedals, going beyond the mere "junk noise" description closer to the original idea of musique concrete, namely altering everyday sounds onto tape into a wholly other vocabulary. What separates him from the rest of the wall-of-noise-heads is that he is great at creating uncomfort and filth. To experience his music is like experiencing pure power and energy through subtle and restrained soundscapes of a world falling into pieces." **That sums it up pretty sweetly, and we'd like to co-sign that this is, indeed, some seriously disgusting strain of sonic filth with moments of Black Metal misanthropy and pure noise viscera. As with most Pan releases, this comes to you highly recommended, especially for fans of fearless sonics from Andrew Coltrane to Yellow Swans or Yellow Tears.**
