Wir starten nach der Sommerpause mit einem experimentellen Kracher: THE END ist eine All-Star-Gruppe um den schwedischen Jazz-Punk-Extrem-Saxophonisten Mats Gustafsson und die in Äthiopien geborene Sängerin Sofia Jernberg. Mats war 1998 schon mit Peter Brötzmann an Bord, und liest man sich das musikalische Wirken aller 5 THE END Musiker*innen durch, wimmeln die vielen Namen und Projekte geradezu über die Netzhaut. Mit "Allt Är Intet" kommt der 5er mit ihrem 2. Album auf Tour, »expect energy, expect beauty, expect the end«. Stilistisch lässt sich das, wie zu erwarten, kaum festnageln. THE END ist ein ernsthafter Versuch, neue Perspektiven zeitgenössischer experimenteller Musik zu schaffen - wo Elemente von Geräuschen, Melodien und Ebenen extremer Energie mit den verschiedenen Hintergründen und Erfahrungen der Musiker und ihrer Arbeit in Genres wie Free Jazz, skandinavischem Folk, Noise, Alternative Rock, frei improvisierter Musik, zeitgenössischer Musik, mauretanischer Musik, Oper, Grindcore, Jazz und ähnlichen Aktivitäten interagieren können!

Sofia Jernberg - voice :: Kjetil Møster – sax & electronics :: Mats Gustafsson – sax & electronics :: Ander Hana - guitar & drums :: Børge Fjordheim – drums & electronics

Info Rare Noise: When Norwegian baritone saxophonist Kjetil Møster (already collaborator of JÜ) joined forces in the studio with Swedish baritone sax burner Mats Gustafson (already present on RareNoise with the Cuts series of releases and Pole Axe by Slobber Pup), Norwegian noise-jazz guitarist Anders Hana (MoHa!, Ultralyd, Noxagt), versatile, powerhouse drummer Greg Saunier (of the San Francisco-based avant-rock band Deerhoof, who participated in the album, but has now been replaced by Børge Fjordheim of Cloroform) and the extraordinary Ethiopian-born experimental singer Sofia Jernberg, the resulting sonic maelstrom was so fresh and ferocious, so daring and audacious, so darkly apocalyptic that The End seemed like the only name for this band of rebels. Their uncompromising debut on RareNoise, Svårmod Och Vemod Är Värdesinnen (a title whose approximate translation from Swedish into English could be stated as “Dark melancholy and sadness are senses to be valued”), is delivered with sledgehammer authority by the subversive crew. The onslaught continues now with two releases recorded during the same session in the Fall of 2019: Nedresa, available as 10″ Vinyl and DL, and Allt Är Intet, available as Vinyl, CD, DL from mid November 2020.

Release Info Allt Är Intet: The English translation of Allt Är Intet is “All Is Nothingness” – an apt enough title for a band already possessed of the scorched earth sonic tendencies and nihilist-leaning name of The End. Yet there’s some ambiguity to that philosophy; the most bleak and despairing interpretation can be countered by a more all-embracing, one-with-the-universe meditativeness.

Perhaps surprisingly, either conclusion proves to fit Allt Är Intet, the remarkable second full-length album by The End. The powerhouse international quintet is made up of Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson (Fire!, The Thing), Norwegian saxophonist Kjetil Møster (Møster!, Zanussi 5), Ethiopian-born vocalist Sofia Jernberg (Fire! Orchestra, PAAVO), Norwegian guitarist Anders Hana (MoHa!, Ultralyd), and Norwegian drummer Børge Fjordheim (Cloroform).

Anyone familiar with these boundary-leaping musicians’ work is familiar with their throttling ferocity and ability to stretch their music into brutal extremes with focused intensity, as evidenced throughout The End’s audacious 2018 debut, Svarmod Och Vemod Är Värdesinnen (which featured Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier in lieu of Fjordheim). But their follow-up, achieved after two years of continued exploration together, strikes an exhilarating balance between its predecessor’s blistering maelstroms and a more densely layered and haunting beauty.

“Everything really came together on this record,” Gustafsson enthuses. “It’s still rough and dark, but I think we deal with the lyricism on a totally different level. “The band consists of a very interesting mix of people, and the mix of brutal riffs and free jazz melodic material is for me a dream come true. I like simple, Neanderthal music too, but this has so many complex layers.”

“When we recorded the first album, we had only played three gigs before going straight into the studio,” Møster recalls. It was a very chaotic meeting and I think the album reflects that. We’ve gotten to know each other much better and grown together, and I felt that in the studio we became a single entity.”

The End convened last November in Norway’s Elektrolüd studio with producer Jørgen Træen. The first hint that they’d scaled new heights during that session was revealed in March with the release of Nedresa, a two-song EP also available on RareNoise. Though it stems from the same date, Allt Är Intet is a fascinating and cohesive statement all its own, one that sustains a wide-ranging yet tautly enthralling mood throughout its absorbing 41 minutes.

Unusually for this gathering of adventurous improvisers and inventive composers, the album is bracketed by a pair of unexpected cover tunes. It opens with a harrowing version of “It Hurts Me Too” by Greenwich Village folk singer Karen Dalton. The song was a favorite of Gustafsson’s mentor in both music and literature, the late Harald Hult. The owner of Stockholm’s renowned record store Andra Jazz and founder of the Blue Tower Records label, Hult would play a particularly cherished version of Dalton’s song at any opportunity, and Gustafsson made sure to play that special version of the song, from a lathe cut, at Hult’s 2018 funeral. The psychic scars implied by Dalton’s spare lyric are given searing life in Jernberg’s performance, howled over a tumultuous drone anchored by Hana’s langeleik, a Norwegian zither.

The album ends with an exploration of sax great Dewey Redman’s “Imani,” a track from his classic 1973 Impulse! album The Ear of the Behearer. The track seems to congeal out of some primordial void, as a swirling cacophony of vocal chirps, growls and grunts swirl together with breathy rasps and fluttering flute. Gustafsson holds Redman in high regard, saying, “Dewey is so deep and was a great composer as well. He deserves much more recognition, so I felt it was important to bring his legacy to people’s attention.”

Gustafsson’s hard-charging “Dark Wish” is another dedication to a pioneering jazz artist, in this case the Swedish pianist Per Henrik Wallin. Influential in Europe but little known in the States, Wallin bridged generations and styles in the Swedish jazz scene during his lifetime, providing early opportunities for Gustafsson and his experimental cohort. “Per Henrik basically came from Monk and that tradition,” the saxophonist explains. “His friends and colleagues thought he was crazy to connect with me and drummer Kjell Nordeson, these young free-form dudes, but he heard something in us that he liked. He really taught me how to interact, how to trust your fellow musicians and learn to listen to signals. He looked at life in a pretty dark way, but he had a great sense of humor so this is an attempt to celebrate his legacy.”

Møster contributes the relentless, rhythmically intricate “Intention and Release,” which Gustafsson calls “one of the weirdest pieces I ever played in my life.” As Jernberg intones the saxophonist’s recursive lyric in a thrall of ritualistic transport, the band lurches ever forward in an unforgiving but unpredictable death march. “The song is about how the same thing can mean very different things to different people,” Møster explains.

“I’ve been fooling around with rhythmic ideas for as long as I can remember, and this one is orchestrated to be really hard – not so dynamic, more static and driving like a slave march among the Egyptian pyramids. It was a struggle to record, and I was getting more and more sweaty and stressed out until it suddenly it fell into place. It often takes an effort to break through something challenging, but if you try long enough and really want something to work it usually works in the end.”

Gustafsson provided the lyrics for Hana’s turbulently grooving title track, which takes its name from the icon-inspired cover artwork once again provided by Gustafsson’s lifelong friend, artist Edward Jarvis. “Anders comes up with the best riffs and grooves,” Gustafsson says. “His background is in grindcore and metal music, but he’s also deeply into Scandinavian folk music. So he adds to the group a mixture of the raw brutality of grindcore but also a kind of melodic fragility.”

Hana also provided “Kråka. Rörde Sig Aldrig Mer.” The title translates as “Crow. Never Moved Again.” and is tip of the hat to British poet Ted Hughes and his revered collection Crow: From the Life and Songs of the Crow. The music is built around a steamroller riff straight out of the sludgier end of the guitarist’s metal reservoir.

The exciting balance of diverse influences and cogent spirit makes Allt Är Intet feel like the work of a firmly united yet limitless group, which The End has undoubtedly become. “We all have varied and polarized tastes and quite inverted sides,” Møster admits. “Mats can play extremely subtle and articulated, but he can also be a storm. Sofia has an incredible soul and presence but also can generate these wild sounds. We all have very opposite sides in us but we manage to bring them together in a way that feels good for all of us.” credits.
