Yabibo Hazurfa – Svärtans Tron (Album – Ant-Zen)
Genre/Influences: Minimal-Electro, Experimental, Industrial.
Format: Digital, Vinyl.
Background/Info: Yabibo Hazurfa is a Swedish project active for a few years now. After having released a few productions, the project last year released the single “Elden Som Renar” by Ant-Zen. This new opus features a selection of tracks that were originally self-released at “Svärtans Hav” (2016) and “Mörkrets Tron” (2017).
Content: The sound of this project covers a wide range of influences; from Minimal-Electronics featuring Industrial sound treatments to pure electro-Industrial to Experimental passages. The composition is characterized by icy Electronics and the use of good-old vintage electronics.
+ + + : Yabibo Hazurfa is a project with a very own sound DNA which is probably due to the analogue-like sound manipulations but also and for sure the result of a very creative sound process. It creates an original and deeply, minimal sound which feels like being conceived in the lab of a sound alchemist. There are several noticeable songs featured but I have a preference for the icy resonating “Mardrömmar”.
– – – : “Svärtans Tron” is not exactly what I would call a bite-sized piece of music but it clearly will ravish music lovers in search of ‘rarities’ and ‘original’ music.
Conclusion: This project serves as a great addition to the phenomenal Ant-Zen roster; great Electro-Industrial minimalism.
Best songs: “Mardrömmar”, “Tristessen – Svart Version”, “Svärtens Hav – Svart Version”, “Mörkrets Tron”.
Rate: 8.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
