The debut album from the rocking improvisational trio Cakewalk, a relatively new band whose members hail from the groups Sacred Harp, Highasakite, The Sweetest Thrill and the Hedvig Mollestad Trio. Limited edition (only 300 copies press up worldwide) 180g vinyl. With synths, guitars, drums and effect boxes, the members of Cakewalk improvise intense and captivating drones and riffs. The musicians have an impressive, nearly telepathic form of interplay as well as a strong sense of structure in their improvisations. Their music spans a wide range of styles and influences, including motoric Krautrock, industrial electronic music, noise-rock and the Bowie/Eno "Berlin Trilogy". It is hectic and energetic, and the three musicians push each idea and every riff to the boiling point, and then cool our ears off with some introspective sound improvisation. "Cakewalk are dedicated to non-orthodox rock music that is viscerally engaging and physically compulsive: at its best, Wired often sounds like something Radiohead might cook up were they ever to lock Thom Yorke out of the studio." - The Wire Personnel: Øystein Skar (synthesisers), Stephan Meidell (guitar, bass and boxes), Ivar Loe Bjørnstad (drums)
