FREDRIK NESS SEVENDAL (CDR, self released) Having never heard of Fredrik Ness Sevendal, nor of Clearsnare Records, this short, thirty-three minute CDR comes as a nice surprise. Sevendal plays guitar on all five pieces. Sevendal doesn't treat his guitars until they disappeared, but rather plays them in real time, but he uses different techniques to do so. In 'Silence To Say Hello' this is a kind of free tinkling around but in 'Sappélur' he goes for some dirty drone like layerings. In 'Wooden Leg' however simple, layered strummings take place and likewise hummings in the background, a nice contrasting piece to the previous two. The final two pieces are a like these variations, with the psychedelic 'Dream' as the final track. Five different pieces, showing a true love of the guitar in it's various aspects. Nice one indeed.
