Recently, one of my favorite musicians has been experimental multi-instrumentalist Aranos, a frequent collaborator of Steven Stapleton and David Tibet. Aranos' music is extremely hard to categorize, existing somewhere between dark ambient sound fuckery and melancholy gypsy folk. Here is a track from his 2007 album Mother of Moons Bathing, a nice twisted folk tune: Aranos - New Boyfriend (MP3)
Brainwashed.com has a series of video features on their website called The Eye, one of them devoted to Aranos. He talks about working with Stapleton, living in the middle of nowhere, and there is ample footage of a concert with Aranos and Z'ev, too. Here is the video in three parts, the second and third part follow after the jump.
Part 1:
Just another irrelevant douche-bag hippie.
