PĂ€rson Sound: S/T 12" (deluxe edition)
A spectacular archival package of primitive drone and minimalist rock/trance/psych from the Swedish underground, believe the hype as follows; one of the most memorable audio documents ever. For a brief period during 1967-68, PĂ€rson Sound was a frontrunner in the burgeoning Swedish music scene, leading to an opening gig for the Doors and an invite from Andy Warhol to play an art exhibit in Stockholm. Regrettably, no album was ever cut and the bandâs activity ended almost as soon as it beganâ although later manifestations would emerge and continue under the names International Harvester, Harvester and TrĂ€d, GrĂ€s och Stenar. Serving up a platter of archival recordings this PĂ€rson Sound collection is drug-addled psychedelic mind fuckery at its best. And thatâs just the beginning. Successfully marrying the ideas of rock, jazz, and drone experimentalism, this Swedish quintet sounds like it wasnât just trying to break free of the limitations inherent in each genre; at times, it sounds like they were trying to blow the doors off the hinges. Metal brutalities of 60s heavyweights Blue Cheer merge with the minimalistic tone patterns of La Monte Young and Terry Riley. Pitchfork rating 9.3.
