After An Excellent 12inch On Rosten Label Sstrom Drops His First Full Length Otider, Which Is By Far The Most Diverse Offering Of The Project Encompassing Elements Of Different Genres And Putting Them In Woolen And Dense Sonic Textures. Otider Could Be Loosely Translated As Un-times Or Non-times. It Positions The Tracks Out Of Specific Context And Rather Represents Them As Some Rediscovered Artifacts Relating To Personal Experiences Of The Artist. Otider Slightly Distances Sstrom From Techno Label As The Compositions Elegantly Drift Between Lush Transparency And Thick Grooves Of Outsider/lo-fi House As In Kronofobi Or Svvaren Or Sensitive, Yet Subtly Monolith And Mellow Techno On Damm And I Huvudet. In Modernisten We Can Even Trace Echoes Of Coldwave/synth Aesthetics With Melancholic Guitars Sweeping Over Hypnotic Rhythmic Patterns, While Closer Sov Nu Introduces Something Which Reminds A Darker Form Of Garage Music With Light Synthpads Constantly Surfacing Among Raw Mechanical Beats. All The Tracks Were Created Over A Relatively Long Period Between 2010 And 2017 By Employing The Process Where He Let His Hands Work Automatically Without Interference From His Head. This Freedom Could Be Felt Across The Release, Which Juggles With Different Musical Forms So Lightly And Organically, But At The Same Time Maintains A Coherent Vision, Which Illustrates The Vast Scope And Diversity Of The Artist.
