THE NEW ALCHEMY "ORGANIC UNIVERSE" CD ALBUM STUDIO & LIVE TRACKS
RELEASED @ IDEAL RECORDINGS 2006 (iDEAL 032)
http://wip.idealrecordings.com/releases
RATED 4/5 & 9/10
"Organic Universe" is the second full length album of The New Alchemy; the sounding output for multi-faced artist Per Svensson. Svensson is comfortably moving between sound art and noise experiments, poetry, psych-rock, installation and conceptual art... Organic Universe is psych-rock / drone-rock and post garage that carries echoes of The Velvet Underground, MC5 and Union Carbide Productions, spiced up or down with some 80's industrial stuff with an honest power… There’s echoes of mysticism, alchemy and occultism – colouring the music and the lyrics of course... Per Svensson has made an amazing album that is as dirty and for real as we want it. The live band features members & ex-members of Union Carbide Productions, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives and The Skull Defekts...
