I’ve been letting Andreas Brandal’s latest album, Trapdoor Crucifix, massage my brain late at night, especially when I need a distraction. Its serrated oscillations and stochastic rhythms are terrifying on some level, but viscerally, this music is so satisfying on a base level that I feel entombed and oddly comforted. Trapdoor Crucifix is massive. Brandal brings a different spirit to this mix, called All Over the Place, but the trip it sends us on is no less exciting. From Andreas:
Through the years, I have made friends in every corner of the world. This is what some of them sound like.
