  • Goddakk - Monument to a Ruined Age

    Goddakk was started while Martin Newman was struggling
    to piece together his band Plumerai. It started as a project
    he had intended to form into a band that would take on dark,
    oppressive songs ala The Cure’s Pornography. Seeing
    theremin player Pamelia Kurstin & the live guitar works by
    Brian John Mitchell as Remora impressed Newman with both
    of these artists ability to create huge soundscapes without
    other musicians. The appeal of not having to rely on anyone else as he’d been
    forced to do with his “normal” bands (burMonter, December Sundays) made him
    decide to keep Goddakk a solo project. The looping “theremin orchestra” of
    Pamelia was a big influence on how he worked the songs together with the reverse
    delay and later elements of his more traditional songwriting creeped in with songlike
    structures. That fused with his desire for rhythm and structure (as opposed to
    noise for the sake of noise) led to the adding of Tricky inspired flow vocals run
    through a tremelo pedal giving tracks like “One Hundreds,” “Unfortunates,” &
    “Crucify You” more song-like qualities.
    On Goddakk’s debut album Monument to a Ruined Age, the dominant instrument
    is a Fender VI bass run through loops & effects sounding like anything from a
    normal bass to breaking glass to a freight train. The final results end up sounding
    like a cross between Colin Newman, Coil, & The Legendary Pink Dots. An
    aggressive ambient music that could as easily fit the soundtrack to a David Lynch
    film as a car ride smuggling a dead body to Florida.
