Quite stunning debut album from Sweden's Porn Sword Tobacco. You just don't expect to get a demo in the post from a project with a name as unlikely as "porn sword tobacco". You certainly don't expect it to come attached with a beautiful hand-written note explaining how the enclosed tracks were conjured up in the middle of the swedish forrest, in the middle of the night, in a wooden-constructed recording studio known simply as "silence". PST blend the genius of ambient masterpieces from composers like Harold Budd with something reminiscent of Mike Ink's seminal work under the "Gas" moniker. Broken emissions, crackles and static, rustling noise, piano, guitar, organ, bass.... Porn Sword Tobacco is more like a broken radio, tuned into a station playing the most beautiful music you have ever heard in your life. Every Track tells a very specific story, told in a language centuries old and yet never before heard in quite this way.
