Album Review: Robag Wruhme – Thora Vukk (Pampa Records)

<Ambient Electronica/House> Just in time for Winter (well here anyway) Robag Wruhme drops a dark, desolate slab of electronica and house that’ll get the trainspotters and chin-strokers nodding in appreciation. It’s an album more fitting to followers of sites like Pitchfork than out and out dance fans. If you’ve never heard of Pitchfork then, well I guess Thora Vukk may not be for you. But if you appreciate the subtleties of electronica like I sometimes can then this new release on Pampa Records may be of interest. It’s an album consisting of 12 tracks, most of which are eerie soundscapes of twisty electronica that ebbs and flows with elegance and subtlety atop a backdrop of leftfield house beats and weird techno. Amidst the dark eerie bit’s shines a light of calmness and beauty with some simply glorious arrangements. Highly recommended to those that like it very left of centre.
