TAR114 Grey Aura - 1: Gelige, traumatische zielsverrukking
‘1: Gelige, traumatische zielsverrukking’ is the first of two demos, leading up to our (as of yet untitled) sophomore full-length album. Thematically, it deals with the first chapters of Ruben Wijlacker’s upcoming novel ‘De protodood in zwarte haren’.
Conceptually, this demo starts off in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalucia. Fictional early 20th century Spanish/Dutch painter Pieter van der Laan (aka Pedro) lives with his parents and the Segovia family, who own a small wine company. After both families fail to pay their debts to an infamous loan shark, they are brutally butchered inside their home.
Pedro, who was out painting orchards when the massacre took place, finds his family and flees towards the North. On a train to Bobadilla he meets Béatrice Charron: a charming, yet deceitful young woman. Béatrice convinces Pedro to join her and her husband on their journey towards Paris, France. Charles Charron, Béatrice’s husband, is a rather unintelligent drunk, who is largely unaware of his wife’s flirtatious behaviour towards Pedro.
The threesome take a short break in the city of Toledo, famous for its medieval cathedral. Inside the cathedral, Pedro discovers a work by 16th century Mannerist painter El Greco (1541-1614), whose estranging work is often seen as an important precursor to modern art. Pedro has a spiritual epiphany as he approaches the painting inside the sacristy: the dynamic depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ seems to have a life of its own. This experience, Pedro’s first real life encounter with abstraction, seems to plant a seed inside his confused mind. From this moment on, Pedro is bound to gravitate towards the unknown, and unintentionally enters a world of unquenchable desire and both sexual and artistic transgression.

Take my hand
Trust me, this has been done
Before. To take a leap is to be
Liberated. To close the eyes
And feel whether or not there is
A floor.
Take this fire
And burn that which obstructs
Which impedes a view of
Something more than that
Which is offered. We are more than
This.
Take this all.
It is ours
Now.
- Johan van Hattum

UNYIELDING / UNSEEING
by Silver Knifesupported by 5 fans who also own “1: Gelige, traumatische zielsverrukking”
Mean, stylistic millennial post black/hc with a lot of anguish and compressed emotions inside. Virtuoso playing and desolate cold dry sonic aesthetics that'll slice your brains and leaves you stunned on the floor with bloodied ears. And such a banger artwork!

One of the best BM EPs of last years. Each song is a beautiful effort of passionate and refined craftship. This is how the music should be.
