The debut album by Urwelt is out today on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia.
Stream and buy, here: https://sleepinggiantglossolalia.bandcamp.com/album/urwelt-distant-galaxies-collide
Urwelt is the new project from UK artists Anthony Di Franco and Kevin Laska, who collaborated 20 years ago under the name Novatron.
Di Franco is a member of legendary psych-noise squad Ramleh and the man behind such projects as JFK; Laska was Godflesh's live sound engineer for a decade, among other things.
Urwelt's combination of squelching noise and rapturous drone could be likened to a mix of Merzbow and Sunn 0))). Urwelt's soundscapes bring to mind the incomprehensible expanse of outer space; Di Franco states: "Our work has always been rooted in speculative imaginings of the universe's origins and the primordial forces that formed us."
"[Di Franco is] one of the genre’s most enduring artists."
–Michael Berdan, Uniform
"As I listen to their sonic clouds of dirge I find myself drifting off into a state of nothingness. This project is really powerful in a sinister sort of way. Urwelt’s songs will seep into your mind and find spaces to dwell that you didn’t know existed!"
