KIM HIORTHOY - For The Ladies, Smalltown Supersound

The third in a triumvate of summer releases from Norway's wunderkid Kim Hiorthoy follows hot on the heels of the wonderful 'Hopeness' and 'Live Shet' EP's - both released over the last few weeks. "For The Ladies", perversly, is a collection of quiet field recordings made by Kim over the years, laid bare without interjection or modification. Anyone who's followed Hiorthoy's music since his sublime debut 'Hei' will appreciate his trademark use of field recordings and environmental sounds in his music. As XLR8R Magazine recently explained in their Future Folk article : “Hiorthoy`s album “Hei” is characterized by the random, ramshackle sounds heard around the house: refridgerator doors opening, answering machine messages, pots and pans clanging. But where Matthew Herbert, Akufen or Matmos might transform these sounds into virtually untraceable items, Hiorthoy leaves them as they are”. These “noises” are an integral aspect of Kim's music and the idea of doing an album with just these sounds and no interferemce or music has been on his agenda for some time. The result is “For The Ladies”. A different release maybe, but also an important part of the work of Kim Hiorthoy. The album comes in slim-line card packaging and a booklet with beautiful original drawings made by an artist known foremost for his tender graphic skills. If you're after a quiet slice of life, a hum of interference and the delicate pottering of day to day things - 'For the Ladies' is for you. A quiet, at times barely-audible snapshot of scandinavian life.
