Pale Ravine (Bonus Edition)

by Deaf Center

supported by

Deadpanist If you don't know this album, you must know it. If you don't own this album, you must own it.

Wesley Ramirez Deaf Center strikes the perfect balance between the dark ambience of Skodvin and the melancholic melodies of Totland— the result is a triumph of music bursting with emotion, taking the listener into the depths of somber thought and existentialism. These two are a match made in heaven. Favorite track: Stone Beacon.

Steven Aanonson A shining example of truly transcendental music. Like they've captured bittersweet nostalgia in a bottle. Wonderful stuff. Favorite track: The Clearing.

about

2022 Miasmah edition of the now classic debut album by Deaf Center, originally released on Type records in 2005. Full-lenght album version, includes the tracks that were previously only on the CD edition + a 20 minute side of unreleased material from the same timeframe. Released as a gatefold 2xLP with original extended artwork.

‘Pale Ravine’ is the debut full-length realization of Erik K Skodvin and Otto A Totland under the Deaf Center moniker. More recently known for solo recordings under their own names on the Sonic Pieces label. The album, back then made in their mid 20ies, is an other-wordly sound collagé to Norwegian nature, theatricality and old silent films. The two musicians have looked deep into their own family histories to piece together a dusty and nostalgic epic, blending elements of classical and electronic music with an array of field recordings and a lot of fog.

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce

A deep meditation into fathomless abyss. This is the first vinyl I ever listened to that, when it ended, I immediately wanted to turn it over and listen to it again. Stunning. I'll be buying whatever I can from these artists. Jamming Device

Sat on my wishlist for some time amidst the feeling I may already have enough brooding, multi-instrumental percussion-heavy soundscapes, but having given it another listen after a long break, it tipped the balance into a must-have. Rich Hims
