Fluorescent Heights: “Paranormal Experience”.
November 7, 2011, 0 comments
Absolutely blown away by these mesmerizing h-pop vibes courtesy of Fluorescent Heights aka young Stockholm resident Henrik Stelzer. “Paranormal Experience” is an immensely compelling trip into the unconscious, with loads of tape hiss and general haziness that’s slightly reminiscent of Ducktails before Matt went all glossy and crystal-clear, a putatively almost primitively structured track that only hesitantly unfolds its complexity and magnificent beauty, slowly unravelling layers of foggy guitar lines and subtle synth pads that make you fell all warm and fuzzy. “Paranormal Experience” is part of the overall splendid Tourism, Fluorescent Heights’ debut 12 inch that’s gonna be released November 28 by Copenhagen-based imprint Subsuburban. Indeed quite essential.

Here’s a second example of Stelzer’s amazing talent, the seven and a half minute synth jam “Highway Death”, being the title track of another fresh Fluorescent Heights release, this time on tape via the newly founded Swedish cassette imprint Zeon Light. This one’s quite a different affair though of course still in the same vein musically, yet unlike “Paranormal Experience” it will not so much put you into half-asleep dizziness but rather evoke images of some gloomy, cheap 80s retro-futurism b-movie. Naturally not at all uncommon in this subgenre, too, but who would mind in light of something this intriguing, am I right?
The Highway Death C-30 can be ordered now directly via Zeon Light. You should check out the label’s other two releases so far as well.
