bliscappen van maria: bliscepen

Following several low run self-releases, this is Swiss group Bliscappen Van Maria's debut album proper, comprised of two sides of frazzled electronic swirl, drones, ethereal hums, guitars, percussion, banjo and the overall hue of the imaginary psychedelic western movie soundtrack. This comes highly recommended for all lovers of interstellar minimalism and the likes of Circle, early Pink Floyd, Ash Ra Tempel, Taj Mahal Travellers et al. A blissful debut by this group with roots in a number of others to have emanated from Switzerland's '90s post-hardcore punk/noise/post-rock scene (Equus, Montevideo, Forceed, Knut, etc.)
