about

WAKE UP. Coims have arrived in our dimension, plying their frightful alltonal dubjazz concoction on these two magnificent nuggets of brain-frying sound-magik. Destined to excite and confuse your senses in equal measure. Short but potent, this medicine pack is to be consumed in small doses, though repeat prescription is inevitable, once you dial in to what's going on here. Bathe in those glorious sonics!


Coims use improvisation to distill what they think they know about music into fresh sonic discharge. Like spring water through volcanic rock, their ideas are filtered through multiple layers formed of primitive materials, leaving their output pure and pleasing to consume: guaranteed beneficial to your health. Drums, guitars and silence collide with, react to and trigger echoes of synthetic, organic and dynamic noise.


"Coims are the contents of a suitcase you grabbed and made for the coastline with, when the end of the world is nigh. What's in it can either be your saviour or a fast track to the very bowels of hell" Bruce McClure (Seed Records)


REVIEWS
--------------
"One of the most bizarre, unique and, frankly, uncategorisable releases to arrive on our shelves, R Barb Column by Coims consists of a brace of synapse-frying pieces that sprawl over the imaginary boundaries between jazz, dub and experimental." NORMAN RECORDS
www.normanrecords.com/records/176502-coims-r-barb-column

"Here, the element of improvisation shines through clearly and there are call and response element within the music that, perhaps, one could label as 'jazz', but preferably with a word before that; doom jazz? Demented jazz? Or, as Aphelion Editions, dub jazz?" FRANS DE WAARD, VITAL WEEKLY 1184
www.vitalweekly.net/1184.html

"After the fence work it’s some kind of rhythm that feels very hands on and slippery, as if it is being executed on a upside down plastic bucket by a fanatic percussionist that had ‘adventure’ as its main nature...
We are getting some slight ambient bits after that, one in which we could hear someone digging up dirt, probably digging a new grave where our ‘normal’ music taste can lay in." KAI NOBUKO, YEAH I KNOW IT SUCKS
yeahiknowitsucks.wordpress.com/2019/02/23/coims-r-barb-column/

"As it comes to an end I just imagine a human being taken captive on another planet, forced to work against their will and trying to send these beacons of hope for rescue but rescue never came." 
Joshua Macala, RAISED BY CASSETTES
