The Manchester-based White Box label presents That It Stays Winter Forever, a limited edition three-way split CD album from Machinefabriek, Kleefstra-Bakker-Kleefstra and Liondialer. The project came together when, after playing several shows together in and around Europe, these masters of the dark arts decided it was time to collectively hit the Far East. White Box is extremely proud to present the accompanying tour CD for these three incredible acts, which is nothing short of absolute perfection from all three. Machinefabriek needs no introduction -- through what seems to be a never-ending run of exceptional releases, Dutch sound artist Rutger Zyudervelt has solidified his position as master of a sound utterly distinct in the experimental field -- his prolific nature, combined with the quality of the material itself, borders on terrifying. Here we are treated to "Instuif," a 20-minute previously-unreleased work of art in drone and crackle. Machinefabriek's wonderfully engaging soundtracks to the modern age continue to amaze and perplex with each new release. The trio of Kleefstra-Bakker-Kleefstra cultivate a sound at once so delicate, and at the same time so harsh and intense, you'll struggle to find an act that can engage and make comatose an audience in equal measures. "Dat It Altyd Winter Bliuwt" (trans. "That It Stays Winter Forever") is a monument of the trio's own making; through Jan Kleefstra's intense vocal delivery, Romke Kleefstra's Hospital Productions-levels of piercing guitar noise, and Chris Bakker's laptop drone beauty, this is as melancholic, subtle and as sorrowful as music can get. Liondialer is Greg Haines and Danny Saul, two performers who have an ability to turn up and improvise sets of such depth and imagination on the fly, that they've terrified and amazed audiences. Haines and Saul are split between Berlin and Manchester respectively; both solo performers in their own right, they come together as Liondialer to baffle and surprise each other with spontaneous moments of brilliance. This is the first-ever non-live recording released by Liondialer, and it's based entirely on a live performance they improvised in Gothenburg earlier this year. Needless to say, the results are quite simply extraordinary. CD housed in a beautiful digipack with a cover photo by Hibernate Recordings label-head Jonathan Lees. Limited edition of 300 copies only for the world with no represses.
