Morc dips its toes into the Swedish Underground for the debut LP by Kroppskännedom, a project led by Malmo's Andreas Malm and one in which he's joined at various points by WOE-regulars, Sofie Herner and David Nein Rodere. Herner and Rodere make some choice contributions, vocal and otherwise, but this is certainly Malm's vision we're contending with here, the collaborations clearly a device for connecting his ideas with those existent elsewhere in the world of fringe music. And it's an effective approach, too, since it's easy to make sense of the associations with the no-wave (a)tonalities of Herner's work in Neutral and Nein Rodere's interest in fractured dissonance. But Kroppskännedom is also more than the sum of its alliances, underpinned with a locked-in krautrock pulse that splits the difference between France and Mars (that's quite the distance I understand) in a manner that becomes near-transcendent when you're on you're third or fourth cycle through. Prior to this, Malm released a tape back in 2023, one that seems to have been missed by almost all outside of Morc - and I'll admit I was surprised this hadn't already emerged via Discreet. It seems the waters run deeper still in Sweden. And we've more work to do.
