AS WE FLOAT ALONG
Written on 30/9/09

The new UPLAND is in prod. and will be released via PHD very soon. Eat your heart out Autechre. This is the schizzle.

Also, there's a cool, rather extensive interview with b9/ORIGAMI GALAKTIKA over at Avantgarde-Metal. Read it.

IT'S OUT THERE SPACEBROTHERS AND SISTERS!
Written on 27/4/09

No longer than a year after his "return to darkness" with You are silent, Lars Pedersen and his WHEN is back with a lesson in plunderphonics. Album no. 13 since the start 25 years ago, this one is something else: a mixtape/mashup to celebrate brilliant bandleader, pianist, mystic, philosopher and Afro-Futurist Sun Ra.

The first volume of WHEN's Homage Series, this singular saucer is a jam-packed jamboree of "cosmic jazz", where Lars borrows—not steals—cuts, loops, adds and completely turns the universe of the legendary jazz-brother from planet no. 6 inside out. Pedersen's own Omniverse Arkestra, if you will.

This is not exploitation, or blaxploitation, or anything but a labour of love, respect and admiration—from one space cadet to another.

Turn on, tune in, space out. And place your order here or there:

Next in this series, Vol. II: POMPEL OG PILT.

SIGN O' THE TIMES

Dear all.

The Jester webshop is closed until further notice. Profits are nul compared to the loss of time and concentration. We are sorry to have to prioritise survival.

Don't panic, you may still order your Jester paraphernalia online via our distributor Plastichead.

Thank you.

WHEN AGAIN

People,

WHEN's new menacing masterpiece, You are silent, is up for grabs. This one starkly contrasts last year's Trippy happy, but we love it all the same. It's WHEN.

Order here.

YULE TIDINGS
Written on 22/12/07

The sun is turning, and as the shadows begin to fade we trust you all have at long last received your packages. As most of you know we did not receive the LPs before early November. We would like to apologise once again for the delay and thank you for your patience. Only a few of you have been on our backs about it, and while we understand, we'd like to emphasise that we too have lost a great deal of time and money on this shit. It happens. And life goes on.

As you all know, by now we are filthy rich and expanding the business. Just look at this stunning new artifact:



This beauty is, believe it or not, in stock and will dispatch immediately. Please note that it is from the golden section — NOK 500 / EUR 62 / USD 89 — and only for the ULVER dipsomaniac. A total of 200 have been made; when they are gone, they are gone. Order here.

It is likely to become the most useful band merchandise we will ever make, tragic as we are. Salut.

On the exclusive note, we should also mention that our US partner The End Records is now pushing a ltd. ed. of the Shadows vinyl. One hundred copies in a wooden box with a varnish and a branding, in tandem with a t-shirt and postcards designed by our brother-in-the-hood Stephen O'Malley. Here.

The year of the Rat is on.
