Finding common musical ground obviously doesn’t require musicians to have a similar background although that’s normally the way these things come together. What happens when musicians from disparate musical worlds meet and merge? That’s where true originality can often thrive. One such outfit is Celan, the brainchild of Ari Benjamin Meyers (Einstürzende Neubauten, Redux Orchestra) and Chris Spencer (Unsane, Cutthroats 9). Ari and Chris met on an Unsane tour stop in Berlin with Ari mentioning that AndereBaustelle, the famed Einstürzende Neubauten studio, might be available, after that is when the magic started as the sounds veined together to make a landmark release that changed the genre of hard core. The tracks here are very developed and thought about. Electronic elements melt with the instrumentation from the guitars, bass, and drums. This is not your normal hard core CD, this release has a different story to tell with different emotions and sound. I can say that this release is doom driven at times with slow pounding bass, and melancholic atmospheres that play key in the background. I can’t really pick a notable track because all of these are very notable with differences throughout all the recordings. At times you might here a piano peeking through the crack or a nice synth line but as you are probably thinking, what does all this have in common? Let me just say that it all works perfectly together under the Unsane type vocals Chris Spencer delivers.
