Self Spiller Streaming Full "Worms In The Keys" Re-Issue

Self Spiller is the experimental project led by Agalloch bassist Jason Walton. A truly transcontinental undertaking, Self Spiller features fourteen musicians hand-picked by Walton who composed and overdubbed their individual parts from across the world from the U.S. to Japan to Norway to Canada.

Much of the music was composed without the musicians hearing the entire piece or knowing what other members were adding, thus chance played a fundamental role in the stitching together of songs.

In the end, Walton sifted through dozens of hours of recordings, layered hundreds of tracks, and edited countless performances spanning six years, finally resulting in Self Spiller's debut, the stunning "Worms In The Keys."

Likened to a marriage of Mr. Bungle's "California" and Arcturus' "La Masquerade Infernale," "Worms In The Keys" merges the tenets of post-black metal, ambient soundscapes, video games and even traditional Middle Eastern sounds all filtered through a metal background and a surreal Dada-esque approach to composition.

Originally released in 2012 on limited edition CD, "Worms In The Keys" is now remastered by James Plotkin (OLD, Scorn, Khanate, Khlyst), and will be available for the first time on vinyl via Varia Records next week.
