The person behind
Urpf Lanze
is Belgian visual artist
Wouter Vanhaelemeesch
, who is mainly known for his large-scale ink drawings that offer a hermetic blend of weirdo characters, medieval iconography and surrealist decors. His artwork started gaining some attention a few years ago when renowned avant-garde lutenist
Jozef Van Wissem
started using Vanhaelemeesch's work to decorate many sleeves of his recorded output, including his collaborations with filmmaker
Jim Jarmusch
, noise legends
Smegma
, free-folk band
United Bible Studies
and fingerpicker
James Blackshaw
. Next to doing exhibitions in places like Tokyo, New York and Paris, his drawings appear regularly in zines and underground publications all over the world. He also runs the audioMER label together with designer
Jeroen Wille
and has provided artwork for records by
Jack Rose
,
Robbie Basho
,
Mauro Antonio Pawlowski
,
Cian Nugent
,
Graveyards
,
Second Family Band
and many others. Urpf Lanze is the moniker of his rather unorthodox solo guitar project, under which he has been playing for several years now. With an acoustic guitar that lays flat on his lap, tuned to unwieldy scales, he brutalizes the instrument in an oddly musical way. As if this wasn't enough, he lays down some vocal work that goes from ventriloquist-like whines and mumbles to deep and guttural grunts. The result is a rather unhinged and demented music. Imagine the rawness of
Bill Orcutt
, the more frightening sides of
Loren Mazzacane Connors
and the absurd stylings of
Wilburn Burchette
all wrapped into a
Lovecraft
ian sonic nightmare.
Procession of Talking Mirrors
is his first full-length solo album. Recorded live on a 4-track tape recorder, these six tracks offer a mixture of Japanese folk music, free psych, scratchy Delta-blues recordings, damaged lo-fi and aggressively percussive fingerpicking. While some tracks may carry a more melancholy tone, others seem closer to acoustic death metal than any kind of folk music. However you may describe it, it is most definitely not a record for the faint of heart.
