After two instalments in their ongoing series Fleisch, both released on Narrominded last year, the Dutch noise group Glice (Ruben Braeken and Melle Kromhout) present their first collaborative project. For “Race to the Bottom” they entered the studio with ambient-concrète composer Coen Oscar Polack.
“Race to the Bottom” is presented as a continuous piece of improvised music, lasting a little over forty minutes in which alle these different musical elements fall into place. At some points it all sounds oppressive and intense, but there are moments of calm, darkly ritualistic in tone.
This release is a captivating document of the first collaboration between three original voices in the Dutch electronic underground.

All sounds by Ruben Braeken, Melle Kromhout and Coen Oscar Polack.
