Following the release of their earth-shaking debut album "Two People Holding Hands" (2017) Dutch experimental rock band Tjalling returns with an absolutely massive sophomore effort. "A Self Repressed Lie" was composed and honed over two years of continuous performances and brainstorming sessions, building off the conceptual format of its predecessor but significantly amping up both the intensity and complexity in arrangement.
Once again Tjalling has composed a full-length record as one single suite-like track, delving deep into the turbulence of psychological self-conflict over its thirty-odd-minutes and displaying a mastery of contrast and subtlety. "a self repressed lie" weaves its way through kaleidoscopic passages of tender acoustic balladry and churning, scream-drenched electric power, bringing together the worlds of noise, post-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and doom metal in ways that dissolve all boundaries. All in all, a gut-wrenchingly emotional and fiery statement by one of the Netherlands' most daring young bands.
"a self repressed lie" is a co-release by Bagdaddy Records, Sky Lantern Records, and Tjalling, and will be released in a limited vinyl run of 300 copies on August 22nd. In addition, there will be a very small run of cassette copies featuring both of Tjalling's albums on one 66-minute tape!
