The follow-up to the introductory package 1-3, 4 is the album that
established the Norwegian quartet Supersilent as an up-and-coming
free improv artist, drawing much attention from the magazine The
Wire, especially. When all young artists were either drawn to
lowercase or atmospheric experimental electro, the quartet dived
into burning-hot free improvisation, blending jazz, rock, and
electronica idioms with a distinctive Scandinavian touch --
something in the use of space and the field recordings that evokes
the mountains, snow, and fjords of Norway. As usual, the tracks are
numbered instead of titled as to obliterate any preconceptions.
"4.1" begins atmospherically before the drummer starts rolling and
pounding. But this introduction comes to an abrupt end and almost
feels like a false start, a warm-up. "4.2" is also mostly
atmospheric, but now the E-Bowed electric guitar is more
prominently featured, along with treated voice samples. Drums
escalate, synthesizers build tension, and the sonic battle has
begun. An intentionally sloppier incarnation of Steamboat
Switzerland could have recorded "4.3." The album's highlight
resides in "4.6," a long improvisation with many twists, turns, and
shifts in dynamics and moods. 4 shows Supersilent exploring an
unheard-of fusion of free styles, sculpting their own niche.
