3 stars Yet another KROBAK split, this time with MONOCUBE, one-man-band from Odessa, drone/minimalist/ noise. Uploaded for free download with CD-version planned later this Autumn, this work shows more experimental side of KROBAK's activity. While MONOCUBE's stuff may seem too minimalistic (bass picks notes with background drones for 11 minutes), 'The Secrets of Stagnation' begins like an ordinary Post- Rock track: slow build-up of the main theme right to the predictable climax. Then few minutes of noises follow, and a sudden surprise: song turns into some kind of Funeral Drone Doom, with lowered guitar chords and minimalistic drum beat (some creepy background noises added). Don't be fooled by the first impression that these chords are random; in fact, everything has it's strict aim and serves to it. 'The Secrets of Stagnation' won't be released on any studio album (at least, in this form), but you can check/ download it on KROBAK's MySpace...and I'd like to remind you that the whole release is a free-to- download issue as well.
