Hans Rotten - Struggle for Mila (2015) Blindwave Records Cdr

‘Struggle for Mila’ has a tone that lingers in ordinary but magical moments in time, that are over looked by those too busy to notice. The album opens like a can of sprite, fresh, bubbly and distorted. “6th Month” is a full and powerful atmospheric song. It is driven by a roaring guitar, and has a chilled mood change bridge in the middle. “Anima Sana” feels like a wave washing up against the night sky. Maybe a lonely night, but a truly magical feeling of ocean + galaxy. “Bloodyesqye” is a stand out track. Bewitching in its haunted pipe noise and twisting baroque melodies. The vibe is other worldly. It has a weird combo of antiquity and futurism. The song snakes in a mystical way, and brings the album art to mind the most. “Loop Mic Test” sounds like early morning day break, and “Wah Wah Dry” is a slacker lo-fi pop song for the wordless noise generation.

Hans has a strength in finding beauty in the ordinary. He takes small moments in time and expands them into a kind of eternal reality, engulfing you into a daze spending a lifetime looking at a micro second.
