Järnnätter

Released

A man who lives in the Swedish countryside (or suburbs, depending who you ask), the person behind Civilistjävel! has been using the same analogue synth gear for years and has made a gang of fantastic records under this name. Järnnätter is Swedish for “iron night,” a long winter night when the frost builds up. This album is on a delivery path of the gods, the same route that dropped off something with Joy Division’s Closer and donated to Rhythm & Sound’s first few twelve-inches. This is north country dub, the sound of a lonely soul trying to pray with frozen hands.
