ÜWAN - "Ü2" (Year Zero Records YEAR 023) 2013



Gawd Blimey, luv-a-duck, guvn'r, I forgot about this album i made back in the early 'teennies' for the magnificent Year Zero Records netlabel.(clears throat)
An improvised guitar drone fest on the subject of the abject U2.As the first Üwan album was called "Ü1",'twas only natural that the second outing would be monikered "Ü2".So the connotations were obvious,and a chance to slag off this terrible group with scything six string noise. 
Basically,it's another Shackleton in a Ü-boat style exploration into the eternal combination of Guitar, Drums, effects, and sound collage from our favourite free rock improv combo,Üwan.A kind of an subconscious abstract tribute to U2's unaltering longevity. This is what you'd get if one placed Bono's career minded stadium rockers' back catalogue into a food blender.I know i'd like to push a certain vertically challenged lead singer of an Irish stadium rock band's face into a blender anyway.

All the notes are there, but not necessarily in the right order, you'd be pleased to know.
What we have here is an improvised drone and feedback ballet score for people who hate ballet. An opera for the deaf,or a painting for the blind.But above all for people who hate U2's guts!

Don't forget, there's Ü3,and Ü4, too!

Dumbo - Drums
JZ (thats me!) - Guitar, Tapes, fx.

Üwan - "Ü3" (Year Zero Records YEAR 025) 2013


Back to Year Zero,and some self-promotion.......
Üwan's improvised third symphony for Guitar, Drum and iPod seems to channel the sound of the skies above Pakistan's tribal regions,and soon, coming to a town near YOU, the skies above your head.
The sound of a thousand Drones zeroing in on enemies of "Freedom", cherry picking such dangers as The Nouveau Intelligentsia, Political Agitators, and collateral damagees.
This is the sound of Paranoia as Fact, an oppressive future 'now', that has arrived under invitation of the oppressed. The aural reality of the Problem, Reaction, Solution method of mass manipulation, the music of conspiracy fact.
Its here, and this is what it sounds like.
