One year ago the world resonated with the sound of a massive landslide in Grønland that shook the earth; a 7 metre high standing wave with a frequency of 11.45 millihertz oscillated with cascading, hazardous feedbacks radiating a slow amplitude decay whose seismic signal was 9 days long.

That Vor-stellen had just released their album 'parallelograms' at exactly the same time, on which the first track was called Grønland; an album that was an exploration in music which Brendan Moran termed 'long sound', is nothing but mere coincidence.

The tracks on parallelograms were considered long, but none of them were 9 days long.

Vor-stellen have now released their second record, 'armature for a painting', via UK imprint Feral Child. They are having a gig to mark this occasion; who knows what coincidence will occur this time around.

The live representation of the 'band' will feature Brendan Moran (the Subliminals / avoid!avoid), Matthew Heine (S.P.U.D. / Solid Gold Hell), Taipua Adams (Terror of the Deep / The Perms) and Tashi Stewart...maybe some others.

Joining them will be Drorgan - Drorgan is Ben Holmes on drums and Hermione Johnson on organ. They play futuristic cave-lit stomp.
