Following 2018's acclaimed collaboration with
Simon Fisher Turner
,
Care
(EMEGO 253LP), Swedish sound artist
Klara Lewis
returns with
Ingrid
, her third solo release for Editions Mego.
Ingrid
is a departure from Lewis's previous solo outings, drifting from the eerie rhythmic variations of
Too
(EMEGO 210CD/LP, 2016) and
Ett
(EMEGO 190LP, 2014) and moving assuredly into long-form experimentation. The piece retains those records' pulsing core and builds on a single cello loop that is steadily enveloped by a surge of distortion. It's almost like a voice or chant, shifting pointedly from a whisper into a scream before singing peacefully into the light. At times,
Ingrid
is reminiscent of
William Basinski
's looping melancholy or
Steve Reich
's controlled and innovative phase experiments, while at others, it recalls the chaotic Scandinavian physicality of black metal. Yet, the entire composition is anchored in Klara Lewis's distinct emotional world. By dissolving familiar and beautiful strings in baths of noise, Lewis allows something violent but tender to grow in its place. In a society struck through by cynicism,
Ingrid
is a cathartic listening experience and a beacon of hope. One-sided LP. Mastered by
Sarah Register
. Cut by
Andreas Kauffelt
at Schnitstelle, Berlin.
