Artist: SHRUBBN!!
Title: Molly Rhubarb/Brandenburg
Label: MUSICK (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $8.50
Catalog #: MUSICK 019EP
Shrubbn!! was founded by Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere and Ulli Bomans aka Schieres in 1995, and after myriad other projects, they're back! The aim of Shrubbn!! was to make dirty, filthy but swinging noize improvisations while tripping, but both tracks on this record are expertly whittled, sprawling statements. Instead of delicate reverb and carefully balanced minimal sound packets, Shrubbn!! give us music of one mind -- rough exterior, tough core.


Artist: SHRUBBN!!
Title: Rumpelritter
Label: MUSICK (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: MUSICK 021EP
Presenting Rumpelritter -- an epic techno 12" by Schieres and T.Raumschmiere aka Shrubbn!! "Basstoelpel" presents a straight 4-to-the-floor beat with a great hook melody line, "Thema 2.0" features rough rave and "Ebenholz" is made of pure sound progression and no plug-ins. Techno punk vibes merge with crystal clear techno beats.


Artist: SHRUBBN!!
Title: Echos (Remixed By The Orb)
Label: SHITKATAPULT (GERMANY)
Format: 12"
Price: $12.00
Catalog #: STRIKE 130EP
Marco Haas (T.Raumschmiere) and Ulli Bomans (Schieres) aka Shrubbn!! turns out an exceptionally engrossing aural novel with Echos, a sonic adventure saturated in bass, cheeps and whispers, in chords, gleams and wisps, covering a darker sound. Shrubbn!! also up the ante with an extended outtake. Enjoy a cool 13 minutes of LX Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann ffwd-ing through Shrubbn!!'s entire album, twisting it into a cracker of an Orb remix. Artwork by Transforma.


Artist: SHRUBBN!!
Title: Echos
Label: SHITKATAPULT (GERMANY)
Format: 2LP
Price: $20.00
Catalog #: STRIKE 136LP
Shrubbn!! have been around for a cool 15 years -- and that's exactly how long everyone has been waiting for their debut album. After all, buddies Ulli Bormans (aka Schieres) and Marco Haas (aka T.Raumschmiere) preferred to sling out the odd Shrubbn!! track on different, almost forgotten labels whenever they felt like getting it together. Now, the duo surprise and delight us with a veritable gem of a record. Their long distance debut Echos follows an upbeat scientific credo of art for text. Pushing the computer aside, Ulli and Marco crafted 14 pulsating, deep and dubby tracks caught up between ambient and beats -- a thick, full sound, a call of the deep with plenty of passion for reverb and bass. Numbering the tracks (instead of real titles) simply made sense as they follow the logic of a meandering session or, rather, a true exploration, executed with plenty of exactitude. And this time around, it's all in the details, starting with the release format: for Echos, Shrubbn!! say no to the prevalent CD format in favor of a truly stunning vinyl edition -- a pleasure for both ears and eyes. Together with Berlin video experts Transforma, the duo also came up with a clever live concept that translates Shrubbn!!'s music to imagery (for a quick glimpse of this aesthetic tour de force, take a peek at Transforma's crisp cover art). And the latter have been busy carving their own niche in the world of art -- slow and steady, yet entirely uncompromising -- with works ranging from Apparat's stunning club set to their own music film Synken and countless concepts or performances for landmark festivals like Club Transmediale. Backed by this inspired gang, Shrubbn!! now give us an overall oeuvre of darkest imagery and heavy sounds bathed in ominous crashing waves.
