Taragana Pyjarama - Tipped Bowls

Review by Richard Wink

Taragana Pyjarama is unstimulating, oddly soothing in an anesthetized way, hypnotic in the most guileful sense.»

already hotly tipped by the likes of xlr8r, the fader, tsugi, pitchfork and juno and supported by leading tastemakers james holden, trentemoller, kenton slash demon and of course michael mayer, nick eriksen has hit the ground running since his debut ep 2011 as taragana pyjarama on the esteemed fools house imprint. he signs to kompakt with this breakthrough full length 'tipped bowls' - a genre defying journey that scales the annals of bass, beats and beyond. from its happy ending disguised as a beautifully orchestrated intro ('four legged') to the surprising final track ('terror paradise', ironically featuring the most soothing alarm sounds ever), this record never backs off from a tangly path through the deep scandinavian woods, which coincidentally seem to be in quite a tropical mood. just listen to 'lo ng', 'growing forehead' or the lead single 'ballibat' and you'll be immersed in a richly vegetated environment caught in permanent evolution. you'll find virtual wolfes howling joyously at a brightly coloured moon and many a track begging to be played backwards for a beamy message of love.
