God is an Astronaut - Do you know their role models? Krautrock at its finest.

And (not to be forgotten and still on stage after 50 years)

The The - There are some sayings I don't like to use, as they tend to spread in an inflationary way. But in this case it fits like a glove: the long wait has really been worth it!

Jon Spencer - To hell with all those people who are always prophesying the end of rock and roll. I can only give them a recommendation to put under their pillows.

Ingebrigt Håker Flaten - It's quite rare for me to take the instrument out of the hand of a jazz player. But here it seems that there is no concept, the actual concept of the composition. As far as I am concerned, there are limits in free jazz.

Deadletter - If the music and the lyrics are in balance at a really high level, then this record has almost made it into my music cabinet.

Thank you for your comments. There is no one else here who can describe situations so accurately.
I agree with your description of free jazz; the Nordic branch is at a bit of a dead end in this case. But it's not all like that, just one part.
In this case, maybe I could paraphrase that as "l'art pour l'art." Products/creations from this domain are often unreadable, unviewable, or unlistenable. This is usually not what we want, but it happens.

l'art pour l'art. -ars gratia artis

The critics and the sales strategies of the record companies have a tendency to favour interpretations that they themselves scarcely understand. In this case, it is quite simple. Everyone, regardless of what social class they belong to, should be able to decide for themselves whether they consider it to be art or whether it should be thrown away with the next round of rubbish collection.

I don't know if you know Alan Ford, but it used to be a very popular comic in the Balkans. My whole generation read it, and it's still a legend. Now, it is mostly in memes. This is Grunf, one of the team.
