about

The Barents Sea is a small sea in the Arctic Ocean and the inspiration for the first track on Fathomless. On their second album, Coen Oscar Polack and Herman Wilken take you to the desolate waters north of Norway and Russia. The track opens with light cracks, almost inaudible, as if we are below the surface of the ice. Slowly, bright light and gusts of icy wind pour through. With field recordings and electronics, Polack and Wilken create sonic fiction, an aural take of a remote, unforgiving area.

On the second side they move to the Sundarbans, a much greener, warmer, but a just as desolate wilderness on our planet. The area, in the east of India, is known for its rich fauna with colorful birds, crocodiles and snakes and it is notorious for its maze-like structure. The warm tones make you drowsy, in a glorious way, but there's something lurking in the bushes as well.

Through their music, Coen Oscar Polack and Herman Wilken manage to make you experience the temperature, humidity and desolation of the geographical themes they’ve chosen for this album.

Fathomless is the second full length album by Coen Oscar Polack and Herman Wilken, following The Language of Mountains is Rain (2009, Narrominded). It is available in a strictly limited edition of 100 transparent vinyl lp's and 100 black vinyl lp's.
