The Itself Of Itself

|

In early September 2011, Theme, the Poland/UK-based group centred around Lumberton Trading Company's very own Richard Johnson (ex-Splintered, Husk, etc.) and Stuart Carter (ex-Splintered, The Fields Of Hay, ex-Heroin, etc.), went into a Budapest studio with their good friends Zsolt Sörés and Jean-herve Peron (a.k.a. Art-Errorist of influential German group, Faust) for two whole days. The main piece, entitled "Poison Is (Not) The Word", pays witness to Theme branching into territory probably closer to their work as Splintered (i.e., their Moraine LP from 1996, which featured Jim O'Rourke source material on one side). Stretching over 24 minutes in length, it remains anchored to Theme's tendency for psychedelic drones and textures whilst Zsolt applies improvised electronics and viola to them and words are either chanted or spat out over the melee. A saxophone, added by Zsolt Varga, then completes the sprawling [1]rink-of-chaos' feel perfectly. On the other side are two pieces also spanning over 20 minutes between them.
