Von Sleight Deliver New Kraut

Von Sleight formed in June 2005 in an attempt to merge analog synthesizers, homemade instruments, electrified household objects, and other strange percussive devices. The first album, Fringe Biology, is mostly a one-take experimental space rock session cut into multiple tracks and was completed in 2005. The second album, Signs of Life, was completed in 2006 and is a more structured and eclectic mix of styles than the first, varying from ambient krautrock to Joy Division meets Tiki exotica to early industrial with tinges of jazz. Scandinavia Darkly, the third full-length release from 2007, was inspired by adventures in Scandinavia and mixes MIDI instruments with homemade instruments/objects/devices and analog synthesizers. Styles include the Residents meet Kraftwerk "Radiation in the Eyeball", Finnish painter/graphic artist Hugo Simberg inspired "Symphony For Simberg", and Charles Mingus / African Head Charge hybrid "Sibelius and Salmiakki". The fourth album, Sieves & Cyphers, was completed in 2008 and will be released with a companion EP. Both of these releases emphasize the use of the Kaoss Pad, mixed with rhythmic freakouts, jazz, and Der Plan-like percussion. New Kraut, the fifth album, will be released on Fringe Biology Recordings on 10/10/10 for their 10th release. All Von Sleight releases can be purchased from Fringe Biology Recordings and most can be found on CD Baby, iTunes, and other digital distributors.
