Nabelóse by NABELÓSE
“Whispering, Drones, Whiches and a Funeral March…”
NABELÓSE was released at the berlin based label corvo records and shows Austrian prepared piano virtuoso and yodeler INGRID SCHMOLINER and the french horn player ELENA KAKALIAGOU from Greece, putting their hands and voices on traditional folk music from both countries.
Ingrid Schmoliner moves between the genres of new music, improvised music, free jazz, and folk music. Teaming up with the member of Zeitkratzer, RANK Ensemble, PARA, and Zinc & Copper Elena Kakaliagou, they form a Duo that creates dark interpretations of ancient songs and tales from mountains and the sea.
The LP comes with download code and in lavish gatefold cover!
“I can honestly say I’ve never heard anything quite like this… It’s a spellbinding, cathartic combination of beauty and discomfort”
— Decoder (USA)
“Nabelóse ist ein magisches, berührendes Album.”
— Skug (AT)
“Nabelóse” è un lavoro profondamente suggestivo, struggente direi, e foriero di una spiritualità antica.”
— Sounds And Silence ZINE (IT)
“A surprising album.”
— Vital Weekly (NL)
“So haben wir es in Wahrheit mit einem brillanten, die Tiefe, die Stille und die Emotion nicht scheuenden Bluesalbum zu tun, das auch international seinesgleichen sucht.”
— freistil (AT)
“Kakaliagou, als bloße Zeitkratzer-Bläserin offenbar unterschätzt, geht der Diaspora-Blues von den Lippen wie bitterer Honig.”
— Bay Alchemy (DE)
“Motivi folk legati sia alla Grecia che all’area Alpina, facendo perno sulla capacità di entrambe nello sfruttare con modalità decisamente fuori dall’ordinario i propri strumenti.”
— Darkroom Magazine (IT)
„I would call it delicate, but it‘s the delicacy of a very still lake at night, with ripples only barely audible along the shore, and there‘s no light so you can‘t completely differentiate the horizon and the water.
And there‘s an ancient myth monster that sleeps in the lake.”
— Andrew Choate (USA)
