winter thaw marks the return to furanum of uncto, the silesian dyad domink muller and rafal furst, with their first full release of collaborative material since 2013’s seminal fu009. like its predecessor, unctuous offers four cuts of viscerally engineered and rhythmically exacting dystopias, each ably situated within a striking synth-etic narrative. it is this latter aspect of each arrangement that perhaps most noticeably demonstrates the pair’s singular and evolving approach to composition, born out in the calculated emphasis on hardware-based expressionism.

furanum rec. continues its industrial assault on the latest ep from label-head dominik muller, liberation from deadlock, this time on an inaugural limited 12inch vinyl release

unctos seminal 2013 release pain was an uncompromising exercise in rhythmical brutality amidst a conflux of themes of suffering, industry, man, and machine. the record now sees itself reinterpreted and reimagined under the auspices of some of the scenes most eminent and accomplished forerunners in what is perhaps, as it arrives on an opulent red double-vinyl format, the labels most ambitious addition to its catalog to date.

there is something singularly unique and peculiar in the degree to which seemingly unsettling themes and extreme taboos have been explored, most notably in the medium of film, in the land of nippon.

following a hiatus of nearly two years, the latest furanum offering signals the return of solo work from label owner dominik muller and coincides with a pivotal tenth release on the label.
