Helsinki, Finland psych experimentalist Olli Aarni aka
Ous Mal repeatedly mesmerized us with his stellar CD on Australian label
Preservation and a very worthwhile split cassette via Karelian imprint
Full Of Nothing earlier this year. However, we just received the rather sad news that Aarni is calling it quits, or at least his current project, to return next year with a new album named
Valot kaukaa under his new moniker Nuojuva. For the time being, his Australian publisher has decided to gather a delightful selection of international fellows to wave farewell by remixing some Ous Mal stuff, including Black Eagle Child,
Deep Magic,
Nova Scotian Arms, and Rachel Evans'
Motion Sickness Of Time Travel, whose contemplating soundscapes of the "Mortem Obire Mix" of "Merilaulu" you may listen to below.
Ous Mal is dead . . . long live Ous Mal is now available via
Preservation. Limited edition of 100 copies.
