FeMail Featuring Lasse Marhaug - All Men Are Pigs

Review by Aileen Adalid

FeMail, the experimental music duo consisting of Maja S.K. Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord, released their album All Men Are Pigs in collaboration with Norwegian noise musician Lasse Marhaug. The album, released in 2011, features a unique blend of electronic and acoustic sounds that create a chaotic and dissonant atmosphere.

The album consists of four tracks, each one exploring a different aspect of the experimental music genre. The first track, "Piggy Bank," features distorted vocals and electronic beats that create a dark and ominous soundscape. The second track, "Sow," is a slower and more ambient piece that utilizes acoustic instruments such as flutes and horns to create a haunting melody.

The third track, "Boar," is perhaps the most chaotic and experimental of the album. Featuring harsh noise and distorted vocals, the track creates a sense of unease and discomfort. The final track, "Pig Out," is a more upbeat and rhythmic piece that utilizes electronic beats and glitchy effects to create a danceable yet unsettling atmosphere.

All Men Are Pigs is a challenging and unconventional album that pushes the boundaries of experimental music. FeMail and Lasse Marhaug have created a unique and memorable collaboration that is not for the faint of heart. Fans of experimental music and noise will find much to appreciate in this album.
