Hello1103 & Gargle - Angraecum (2020) EN


Two uncanny bands, similar in many places but also both unique, met on one split album. It's always good new and Angraecum really is a good album as well (although it's not very long) that made it possible to combine Japan's Hello1103 and Gragle.

The former is a duo made of Hitomi and yukako. Based on delicate noise and keys, it is able to take the audience on an ethereal journey even if with somewhat minimalist aesthetics. Just like in the split's first track Evergreen. Gargle, who already appeared on my blog with the album Wading in Shallow Waters, is also a duo, consisting of Minowa and Satoshi Ikeda. Their a bit more diverse music is unique first of all due to the incorporation of the accordion sounds into their airy post-classicism.

The album makes a "collection of >prayer< themed auditory bliss" and indeed, you can say that the musicians wanted to create something as spiritual as possible. On the other hand, there's no exaggeration and bombast, quite contrary, the spirit of minimalism is clearly audible and make way only to the omnipresent ethereality.

Angraecum costs 6 USD.
