4. Kammarheit – “The Nest”

Simon Heath: “While this was one of those albums you go around waiting for and hype it up too much, once this on landed there was no question that Kammarheit delivered once again. As we know by now, his trademark sound of feedbacked darkness just works no matter which way you look at it. This album is as timeless as his other albums, pure black.”

Kammarheit is a Swedish dark ambient project. The only member of this project is Pär Boström, who is a resident of Umeå, Sweden. It currently is signed to the label Cyclic Law. They so far released 3 official albums (“Asleep and Well Hidden” – 2003, “The Starwheel” – 2005, “The Nest” – 2015) and several so-called ‘unofficial’ albums. You can get the latest Kammarheit from the Cyclic Law label webshop.

Note that Boström is also behind the project Cities Last Broadcast which released only 1 album, “The Cancelled Earth” (2009). Also this record was released via Cyclic Law and is mostly produced with urban field recordings.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
