Background/Info: Uhushuhu is a
Russian solo-project driven by Pavel Dombrowski. A few productions and split-releases
have been already released by different labels. “Bones & Drones” appears to
be the first official CD-format release by this project.
Content:
“Bones &
Drones” features a single composition from 45 minutes. Composed with numerous
field recordings, which clearly sound related to elements of nature, and
achieved with dark sonic treatments plus minimal percussion effects and drones,
this album takes us away through a sonic labyrinth. The addition of authentic
instruments are also present, I recognized the sound of flutes injecting an
authentic touch to the work.
+ + + :
Uhushuhu sounds
like an invitation to enter a mysterious sonic universe tickling the listeners’
visual capacities. The tracks have been progressively built up, featuring
numerous little details. You’d better listen to this work using headphones or
simply relaxing in a lazy chair while focusing on the music. You’ll catch the
cinematographic strength of the work, which also reveals a few ritual passages.
I also have to say a word about the great artistic digipak.
– – – :
It’s an
easy-listening work although featuring a few monotonous passages.
Conclusion:
“Bones &
Drones” is something of a dark sonic voyage through the unknown.
