The Magic Carpathians Project "Ethnocore"

Regular readers meanwhile may remeber us recommending a few issues ago the music of Poland's premier forest-dwellers and psychedelic folk-muse explorers Atman. Sadly the band itself is no more, but its mainstays Marek Styczynski and Anna Nacher have seamlessly woven themselves instead a combo named The Magic Carpathians. With Anna's soaring, febrile vocals to the fore and an aurally stunning array of multi-instrumentation and field recordings lending atmosphere, the Carpathians create a distinctly European and yet universally recognisable blend of sounds which are at once traditional and experimental. Edgy yet strangely mellifluent, "Ethnocore" is a collection which allows the msuic to grow and spread organically, from ethnic folk (the opening of Ragana's Story) to free jazz ('One Mother') and most points betwixt and between. For a fast-track Magic Carpathian learning curve incidentally, the Oggum label have released a split 7" featuring the Magic Carparkers on one side and the Welsh electronica-surrealists Nimbus 2000 (...).
