WAREHOUSE FIND!
FELT revisit Civilistjävel!'s Järnnätter LP almost a year on from its initial release by commissioning two sharply on-point remixes from A Made Up Sound and Ossia. The pair take on the task in contrasting fashion, but still somehow both manage to get to the heart of Tomas Bodén's twin concerns - subaquatic dub inversions on the A, and on the B, a descent into the outer-zones of static hiss ambience. The spirit of the Civilistjävel! sound remains firmly front and centre, though a little warmth is added to his usual tundra like production that takes us into slightly different climes, A Made Up Sound's pulsing bass repetitions and swirling synths animations colouring in the spots Bodén typically leaves monochrome, while Ossia dials up the psychoactive ooze in a way that imagines a sunken Werkbund-like vessel lost with the viking ghosts out in the Baltic Sea. Great variations on an already stellar album.
