"Carnival of Souls" is a 20-minute track culled from the soundtrack done for Tom Lohberg's short film "The Letter". I have no clue about the nature of that work, but the rather ghastly stills used by Marhaug in the layout, and the title he's chosen for the ep ("Carnival of Souls" being, if I'm not wrong, a cult ghost movie), suggest something creepy. The piece begins with almost total silence, then a bass-heavy drone starts to billow, until it eventually - around the 9th minute - bursts into the harsh noise Marhaug is very well known for. The second half of the work is a somewhat more disjointed series of fragments - disquieting field recordings, fast-paced noise cut ups and all-out feedback. Still quite nice, but I definitely like the drone+noise mix of the first half better. I'd be pretty curious to see how these sounds are mixed with the movie.
