"Hans Grusel's 'sound' might best be described as the sounds of a Bavarian music box designed by an artist who had been bonked on the head with a brass cuckoo clock chime and left in a dark room for three years with only the music of Scriabin, Wagner, and Prokofiev mixed with off-speed 1960s sci fi soundtracks and folkloric anthems pumping through the slightly clogged vents. HGKK audio combines numerous divergent elements -- rigid structures and sweeping washes of plucky improvisation; classic violin sounds twisting in a mobius strip of clashing yet beautiful sounds and tones; flitting marches and delicate traipsing at the bottom of the sea -- to create dense and blissful audio rainstorms."

Catalog #:	UE 038LP

"San Francisco's most German electronic creeper Hans Grüsel does it again, after seeing their amazing performance at No Fun this year I couldn't wait to do a record with these weirdos! Amazing layered synth madness!! Using a mountain of instruments I never heard of, these 2 long compositions give you the worst melancholic Sunday afternoon feeling, the party is over, and all you're left with is a horrific hangover that will never leave you, thinking of the carnival the night before, this is another miserable day indeed, you'll have to wear the hottest costume again, your head is made of wood and nothing makes sense anymore... this is beautiful analog electronic composer/concrète madness with an old piano trumpet sauce, every time you'll find new sounds!!! Also, be sure to find them live somewhere, the only band that can actually play music while wearing huge wooden houses on their heads... the cover for this record is the second in a series of 5 LPs with 6 panel fold out covers by Snotyfus! This one has a huge green wooden house raster on the outside and a full color village krank on the inside! Limited to 500 copies!"
