Steensland, Simon - Explosion of Bad Music CD
SKU
aMarxe 0726
For over 30 years, Swedish composer and musician Simon Steensland has been making interesting / challenging avant-rock music albums, but also working professionally mainly as a composer for theater works and plays. I think that this 'duality' gives his music something very unique in the 'avant-progressive' sphere.
This, his latest, is the third part of a trilogy and it’s a huge work with a large number of singers and players on two very lengthy pieces.
"Explosion of Bad Music” captures Simon Steensland at his most gloriously unhinged. Built around two expansive pieces of roughly 27 minutes each, the album dives headfirst into his signature avant-prog chaos (dense, theatrical, and wildly inventive), unfolding like a delirious, self-contained masterpiece.
Every passage mutates with intent, transforming unease into narrative drive. Wild, intricate, and unexpectedly playful, it feels like a parallel universe where avant-garde rigor collides with dark humour. A bold, fearless statement ... Don’t miss." – Third Millennium
