Adam Kalmbach once again welcomes us into the fractured landscape of his deranged mind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much has been made of the duality of\u00a0Jute Gyte<\/strong>‘s discography<\/a>. Rather than segmenting his black metal and electronic music into two separate entities, Kalmbach, Jute Gyte’s sole creative force, continues to release both styles under a unified moniker. Perhaps this is done to provoke fans of one genre or another. Perhaps it’s done to avoid an embarrassing\u00a0Xasthur<\/strong>-esque\u00a0rebranding. Or, most likely, it’s done purely because Kalmbach sees both creative outlets as equally valid and relevant to the goals of Jute Gyte.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, the two disparate streams find equal citizenship on the new 12″ EP,\u00a0The Sparrow<\/em>. The black metal half of Jute Gyte claims ownership of the EP’s first side with the self-titled “The Sparrow.” It’s a fascinating exploration at Kalmbach’s\u00a0hyper-restrictive songwriting heuristics. According to the Bandcamp page:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sparrow\u201d is built around a nine-note quarter-tone cluster spanning C natural to E natural, with D natural, in the center, forming the drone at the heart of the track. With the exception of the sections from 2:30 to 6:40 (see below), those nine notes are the only pitches that appear in the song.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
