Gnoomes, the threesome hailing from Perm, Russia. It may only have been eighteen months since "Ngan!", the band's first release for Rocket, yet the band have already moved on to a sonic landscape still more adventurous and ethereal on "Tschak!", not to mention an emotionally resonant approach that's bewitching to witness. Taking in torrents of guitar noise and electronic extrapolations both blissfully kosmische and aggressively abrasive, it exists outside of all or any convenient genres, a vivid and singular work by three dreamers-at-heart forced to manifest their vision into a psychic defence to the circumstances surrounding them. Working in splendid isolation thanks to a studio space provided by their work for a local radio station, the band had time and space for the alchemical process of creating "Tschak!" entirely on their own terms. Central to the this were a collection of Russian synths that they gathered, whose eccentric arpeggios and analogue textures form crucial ingredients on songs like "Severokamsk" and the title track, arriving at a sound that forms a star-crossed and timeless marriage between the experimentation of krautrock and the lineage of Warp Records.
