Vlor: (EP) (US,2006)**°
Vlor is Brian John Mitchell (Remora) and Russel Haslasz who started in 1992 doing acoustic guitar versions of Cureand Bauhaus. Without having equipment to add delay, reverb or loops they continued to explore the simplicity of some minor key guitar riffs, arpeggios, and other repetitions, and recorded in homerecorded conditions 90 minutes of material and send them to six friends : drone-pop musician Jon DeRosa (Aarktica), who added a bit of harmonium and guitar, Mike Van Portfleet (Lycia) who added guitar harmonies and some reverb guitar, Nathan Amudson (Rivulets) who added electric guitar and keyboards, dronemoodpsych-folk singer Jessica Bailif (solo and from psychfolk group Red Morning Chorus), added hush vocals, violin and acoustic guitar, and Jesse Edwards (also from Red Morning Chorus) who added Indian instruments and hand percussion, and Paolo Messere (from 6PM) who added percussion, electric guitars, keyboards.
The result are moody tracks based upon the simple guitar loops or repetitions, made a bit richer through the added layers of the contributors. The album works a bit like more melodic ambient guitar music. It is rather improvised and is over before one notices..
