The Last Command, by Zguba

The Last Command

by Zguba

supported by

Lost Tribe Sound One of the more bizarre and utterly unique finds on the Opus Elefantum label. Sort of like if Giuseppe Lelasi and The Caretaker paired up for collaboration, mining recordings from old Russian Operas, and detective noir films.

about

The Last Command was created in a haze of drunk exhaustion, in unaired, tightly sealed spaces, filled with nicaraguan cigars smoke. For its author it was a kind of metaphysical delirium – toil, which had to be overcomed to feel better the next morning.

The unique mixture of musical ideas have accompanied Zguba since its beginnings in 2011, is reminiscent of the long-gone era of martial industrial music laced with echo of all-night long banquets and scratched vinyls. You will sense here nostalgia for bygone days from Dołęga-Mostowicz's novels, where roisterers and swingers could see the approaching doom of war.

It is not only the title of a magnificient movie of the 1920s, but also some kind of reflection on the eternal state of affairs . Every huge war is followed by the time of a global look at the human condition. This album is a musical equivalent of this everlasting and immanent discourse on human psyche.

Built Upon a Fearful Void
by William Ryan Fritch

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Last Command”

Incredibly atmospheric and eerie music from this multi-instrumentalist composer. Known for his award-winning documentary and narrative film soundtracks, he blends experimental, folk, and contemporary classical into a delectable melange. There are two gorgeous suites included in this release, but to give an idea of what to expect, my favourite track is A Pale Mare. Nickie Harte Kelly
