garlic yarg is the other project of smolken, known for his fantastic recordings as dead raven choir. garlic yarg is its mostly-improvised counterpart. sparse acoustic instrumentation is used to lay down a tangled spider's web of sound. at times it's cathartic, especially when the low-end clangs rattle like bones. the key word here is dark. the black metal leanings of dead raven choir are audible here. i imagine that if anyone tried to play any kind of happy notes, smolken would have put a stop to it. garlic yarg is another excellent example of smolken's talent. each cover features a different beer label, no two are alike. 85 copies
