LÄUTEN DER SEELE - UNTERHALTUNGEN MIT LARVEN UND ÜBERRESTEN (LP)

"Notorious for dwelling in these in-between spaces, Christian Schoppik's Läuten Der Seele?project has long since stirred the anima within the hidden reverse of quotidian objects by looping?and re-contextualising obscure and disparate sample sources. With the addition of Jota Solo,?these often oneiric and impressionistic collages and story paintings now open up to a more?expressive and direct colour scheme, quite literally as if Schoppik's sonic phantasmagorias have?been ultimately given a real human voice to speak their mysteries. But whose voice is that? Jota has a long-running history traversing Austria's outsider art scene under a myriad of different pseudonyms, most notably in the group Nový Svet, a duo he shared with Frl. Tost, formed in the late 90s in Vienna's seminal post-industrial underground. Often mislabeled as "neo-cabaret" or "combat-folk" for a lack of understanding the duo's immense genre-blind creativity, Nový Svet always remained misfits in every scene they entered but garnered attention and cult following from a group of more open-minded listeners."
