Nein Rodere stretches a seven-inch idea into a strange little world on THE PERILS OF ASTIR

Nein Rodere’s THE PERILS OF ASTIR feels like the kind of release that could only exist because somebody followed an idea long after a more practical person would have abandoned it. Released on 1 June, the Berlin project began with THE PERILS, a song David Rodere says essentially wrote itself, then expanded into a small constellation of related pieces. The credits bring in Judith Hagan on vocals, Roxane Métayer on strings, additional voices and production, giving the release a handmade but carefully haunted quality. Tagged around experimental pop, collage and home recording, it belongs to a tradition where the rough edges are not flaws but evidence of process. This is not polished indie product. It is stranger, more personal and more rewarding for listeners who like music that feels assembled from instinct, accident, obsession and a few beautiful wrong turns.
