ABOUT THE MIXTAPE
Otto Lindholm and Ross Tones put together a collection of songs that have influenced the creation of their duo and that guide their common musical approach. An invitation to discover their inspirations while waiting for the release of their debut album.
EVERYTHING FALLS APART
“In fact, the more I try to escape, the less I can breathe. The more I try to hold on, the less I can focus. Something’s leaving me. Parts of me. Everything falls apart.”
Inspired by Danielewski’s chef-d’oeuvre House of Leaves, Everything Falls Apart (EFA) gathers prolific producer Ross Tones also known as Throwing Snow (Houndstooth) and double bass player Otto Lindholm (Icarus, Gizeh) in an improvised and brilliant dialog. Acting as a human FX on the initial acoustic sound, Ross Tones gives a third dimension to each impulse of the double bass, which in the same time influences back Lindholm’s play. The whole process, from linear to circular, creates a profound musical loop, almost a larsen, that brings EFA’s sound into music : a unique catharsis of unforgiven soundscapes and melodies.
EFA Debut album will be released on Totalism (sept 15 2023)
A first single, Wonderfully Desolate, will be released on 27 April on all digital platforms, kicking off pre-orders for the upcoming vinyl.
