Bobby Krlic's debut album as The Haxan Cloak, which emerged in 2011 through Aurora Borealis, was far more intricate, carefully arranged and accomplished than your average debut.The Haxan Cloak was a set of eight dense, light-starved compositions that, as the project's name suggested, alluded to very British ideas of the occult. Its ragged string drones, groaning low-end and sunken choirs called to mind visions of sodden grey and green moorland, slate barrows and knackered old mining equipment, like a late autumn wander through some of the more isolated regions of the North of England.
In 2012, he released The Men Parted the Sea To Devour the Water, the first material served up since the announcement of his signing to Tri Angle. Interestingly, it’s a live session for Latitudes – an imprint set up by Southern Records and a re-interpretation of his previous work. Spectres of his productions remain; the beginning of the B-side is a large chunk of ‘Hounfour (Temple)’ from his captivating Observatory EP played lo-fi and heavy live (though the fidelity could just be my record, which has quite an impressive warp). There’s no sense that the music is just being directly translated into the live setting, instead the existing architecture is being acutely reassessed and revaluated to provide new angles with Krlic apparently looking at it as like remixing his own music.
"astonishing success, moulding elements of modern classical, dark ambient, doom metal, drone, industrial and dub-attuned electronic music into a unique hybrid form that demands to be taken very seriously indeed." - FACT MAG
"It can’t last though; ominous noise breaches the peace and hints at the darker realms of Haxan Cloak that could very well swallow you whole." - Sonic Router
"This album makes you ask: can fear and beauty coincide? But to find the answer, you have to walk that corridor for yourself." - The Line of Best Fit
Having just finished an EU tour supporting Liars and a number of dates with Laurel Halo, The Haxan Cloak comes to The Twisted Pepper, Dec 1st.0
