Label:	THE LAST RECORD COMPANY (NORWAY)
Format:	LP
Price:	$34.00
Catalog #:	TLRC 001LP

The Last Record Company is a vinyl label set up by Rune Grammofon. Each release is limited to 500 copies only and comes in a lavish, thick, individually hand-numbered gatefold sleeve with artwork by Grandpeople. Each release also includes a 16-page art-booklet. The music is exclusive to this release and will not be available in other formats until the vinyl edition is sold out, possibly not even then. We are proud to present the first three releases on The Last Record Company, all by very prominent figures in the flowering contemporary music scene in Norway.

This is the debut solo guitar recording from one of Norway's hardest-working young improvisers, currently a member of Jaga Jazzist, Puma, Monolithic, and more. More recently, Westerhus has put more energy into challenging the electric guitar alone on stage. Blessed with little or no respect for the instrument, his performances balance raw expressiveness, virtuosity and melodic instinct with his Norwegian heritage and growing up listening to Slayer. Sinewy guitar-menace. Mastered by Helge Sten aka Deathprod.

Ultralyd are Kjetil Møster (saxophones/clarinet), Anders Hana (guitars), Kjetil Brandsdal (bass) and Morten J. Olsen (drums/electric vibraphone). On their debut for Rune Grammofon's The Last Record Company imprint, they continue to develop the sonic explorations that started with their brilliant Conditions for a Piece of Music album (2007) and continued with "Conditions for a Piece of Music II" off Money Will Ruin Everything 2. Just as comparable to dark metal dronemasters as to contemporary composers. Limited to 500 copies only and housed in a lavish, thick, individually hand-numbered gatefold sleeve with artwork by Grandpeople. Also includes a 16-page art-booklet.

Limited to 500 copies only and housed in a lavish, thick, individually hand-numbered gatefold sleeve with artwork by Grandpeople. Also includes a 16-page art-booklet.
