Smoked-out and spacious cinematic dub.
Before he became better known as Porn Sword Tobacco (PST), Swedish producer Henrik Jonsson released two albums under the name of Stress Assassin. Like his later oeuvre, the tunes are spacious, cinematic and multi-layered, influenced by the likes of Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream, but for this project there is additional guidance from the world of dub.
Released on vinyl for the first time, Within the Office of Eye and Ear's smoked-out ambience and blissful beats are permeated with melodic bass and cinematic space. Found sounds, floating voices and intermittent pops ripple amongst the sweet harmonies, lush atmospheres and pulsating basslines, creating a captivating other-worldly dreamspace.
As Henrik explains: "Made often at night in an attic in Gothenburg, it's music I did in a world far away from today: the music was, and is, about not running along with a stress-y society soaked in TV, media and materialism, out of touch with the calm beauty this world gives us"
He certainly succeeded as Within the Office of Eye and Ear offers the ultimate stress assassination.
