IV presents the listener with a record of greater complexity, but just as much power to evoke as the more soundtrack-focussed work. Take ‘Paratrooper’, for instance. Its airborne cavalry pour forth what seems to be glowering and gutteral chant. At this, atonal guitars slash and swipe and a heavily processed drum sound pushes and hisses, piston-like. Somewhere, innocent bells try to ring out before being instantly suppressed – this is an album that feels heavy, dystopian. KTL’s IV sees Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’Malley and electronic artist Peter Rehberg team up with Jim O’Rourke on production duties for what is being described as their first studio album that exists without reference to accompanying visual stimuli.
