Bleach Dye Yr Heart

There's a treasure of some of the most compelling post-industrial drone music hidden in an unlikely place: DENMARK. And we here at Gears of Sand are ecstatic to release Danish duo Hinsidan's latest release. By contrast to many detached ambient soundscape artists who seek refuge in the galaxies or far off fields, Hinisidan's inspirations are deeply personal, cathartic, and often deeply appreciative of their roots. Listening to 'Bleach Dye Yr Heart' one hears connections to drone giants Troum, especially in their use of deeply mesemric long tones. And even vocals make their way into Hinsidan's shapeshifting, but presciently minimalist sound. A deeply emotive croon makes its way into one of the disc's more compelling tracks; evoking a kind of Throbbing Gristle meets Radiohead mutation. This is music with purpose and direction but one that flows naturally in a kind of semiotic revelation. Superjus captures best what 'Bleach Dye Yr Heart' is all about: "We have finally gotten to the point where darkness, anger and hatred does not do the trick anymore. Now it is time for a clean house. BLEACH DYE YR HEART". Hinsidan which is Swedish slang for "the other side" create sounds of impermanence that tap the highest order of human clarity (Gears Of Sand press oct. 2007)

'This is neither too little nor too much; the whole has an assured balance between its light and dark faces, the dark elements being occulted by the light just enough for that uneasiness to creep through.'
(Heathen Harvest)...more

'An album hosting a variety of atmospheres and attractions, much like a museum of curios.'

'For et band, der i den grad dyrker et dystert og dramatisk lydunivers, er Hinsidan ekstremt både elegante og subtile'
