Diggin’ This: Rural Tapes – “Flower Lab” (Clay Pipe Music)

 

Cinematic audio artistry from Grimstad, Norway. 

 

 

 

“Flower Lab” by Rural Tapes, the nom de plume of the Norwegian multi-instrumentalist and composer Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen, is storytelling through sound at its finest. It really does take you on a journey.

 

 

Love how the track disintegrates into a wash of electric guitar feedback fuzz, and still valiantly soldiers on, around the five-minute mark.
