Sølyst

Sølyst has been played on NTS in shows including Bahamian Moor, featured first on 13 May 2013. Songs played include Magellan, Cape Fear and Ned Land.

After over 15 years as Kreidler drummer and a number of other guest appearances, Thomas Klein now presents his first solo album under the name SØLYST. The basic ingredients of his music do not differ greatly from Kreidler's. SØLYST also unites analogue drums and electronically generated patterns. But Klein now heads into more tribalistic territory. The beat, the groove, the monotones – Klein is a musical hypnotist, taking aim at rhythmic ecstasy with minimal, yet highly effective means. Both restrained and insistent, SØLYST's darkly pulsating aural cosmos envelops the listener and holds him fast as a fantastic voyage commences. Intricate, repetitive sequences, overflowing delays – and the drums, always the drums, sometimes in the mix, sometimes alone in acoustic space, as they unleash mesmerising physical and atmospheric energy, the heart of the instrumental pieces. Afrobeat, minimal music, Krautrock, dub, cosmic – all apposite and well-intended references, but not enough by way of explanation. A genre to encompass this has yet to be invented, so Tribal Dub Krautrock is perhaps the most fitting description.
