NADJA & VAMPILLIA – imp?’f?k??(???)?n/ LP

Description

I’ve never been a great fan of Nadja (as is probably obvious from any reviews I’ve given them on here) and that’s probably as much to do with my musical tastes than actually thinking they’re bad….I just find the kind of music they make really, really boring. So this is a collaboration and I’m writing this very sentence before even listening to it so gimme ten minutes to give it a blast………..(10 minutes elapsed)……..This is less “shoegaze” than Nadja’s usual stuff, sounding a LOT like early (Absolute Go)-era Boris or Sunn, but it’s not got the nice beefy, heavy tone they have and sounds gratingly high-end. Vampillia add strings giving quite a cinematic feel to proceedings. Honestly, I’m still bored and cannae make it all the way through, but I do listen to an awful lot of Graham Bonnet so maybe if you’re into this kinda gear I’m not the chap you should be asking.
