Phantom Limb

PHNTM3

Info:

Hekla’s Music Exists Singularly. A One-off Talent, Emerging From No Particular Scene, Ascribing To No Particular Rules. <br /> As A Creative Tool, The Theremin - Bizarre, Unique, And Rarely Heard - Can Be Expressive, Intuitive And Highly Adaptable. In Hekla’s Hands, Her Instrument Covers An Enormous Range, From Skittering Birdsong Of High Frequency Chirrups And Chirps, To Grinding, Tectonic Sub-bass. We Are Given The Throbbing, Apocalyptic Dread Of Muddle And The Baroque Beauty Of Traditional Icelandic Hymn “heyr Himna Smi&#8706,,ur” In Sequential Tracks On The Album’s A-side. Appropriately, She Also Writes That The Album Title - Á - Is Similarly Multifaceted In Her Native Icelandic: “a River Is An á And Also It Means Ouch Like When You Hurt Yourself, And Also When You Put Something On Top Of Something You Put It á (on) Something.”
