Similar Artists: Cranioclast

In general, Kallabris is a german post-industrial, ambient, drone project, related to the much more obscure Cranioclast collective. Kallabris released a lot of strange, limited records and here are two, I really love.

A Smile For Brandon is a rare tape I bought in the early nineties and maybe my first contact to that nowadays called Freak Folk genre. In these times it was just a kind of obscure DIY homerecording, released in the tapescene. A bunch of tiny songs with acoustic guitar, voice and some additional noises. Nice and full of tapehiss.

The second one Considération Sur / Sous Le Café  is a conceptual 7" record about coffee, and it comes with a text about that. It's kind of a very strange Coffeehouse music (whatever this means). Sparly Piano tunes, a voice and some shimmering guitar feedbacks laying in the background. Enjoy them!
