"Melle-Aan-Zee" is the latest lo-fi recorded collection of improvised pieces by Ghent-based occasional psych folk, kraut infused jam collective De Regering Van Treffelijke Zaken, which seems to continue to give birth to compositions that defy convention and exceed expectations. Just as their sporadic meet-ups seemingly cannot be planned, their enigmatic worlds of sound unfold through pure improvisation, sense of experimentation, a confluence of coincidences and reasoned skits. There's a special kind of magic when things spontaneously align, a magic that can't be replicated by meticulous thought.
The unmistakable sound of KRAAK's 12-string guitar advocate Venediktos Tempelboom, Ishtembashtockx's unconventional way of playing anything, Gonzalez's fuzzy and angular contributions backed by Lafong's percussive versatility and rhythmic fiddling make up for expansive, psychedelic jams that sound both tremendously earthy yet out-of-this-world. Melle-Aan-Zee’s jams are drenched in weird (out-of-)tunings, swampy acoustic guitars, endless bass-loops, spiraling synths and electric guitar and trance-inducing, ongoing hypnotic grooves.
Undoubtedly, and given their improvisational core, in a way also unintended, their sound is inspired by bands and artists such as Träd, Gras Och Stenar, International Harvester, Sylvester Anfang II, Steven R. Smith, Can and the krautrock era as a whole. However, it could be really anything. And that’s exactly what they’re all about. DRVTZ will take you on a ride full of twists and turns. Get the album, play it and find yourself in a dreamlike state, dancing on your table or banging your head.
