Review: It's easy to get lost in the sounds MMMD create. The Greek trio shot to the top of any self-respecting ambient-drone geek with 2013's exceptional Som Sakrifis, a piece of work so resolute in its mission to draw you in and then tighten the clasp it gets to the point where you can't see, or hear, a way out, and the three producers have continued to deliver those sorts of goods since. Roto Vildblomma is no change of course. To call the EP oppressive would be unfair, although opening track 'Vildblomma' does come with this sense of dread and a distinctly uneasy mood, organ refrains hitting notes that are hard wired to make things feel a little ominous. Elsewhere, similar senses also prevail, 'Skora''s more whispered approach to unsettling is different yet equally eerie. However, there are also moments of delicate quiet, almost to the point of silence, and a sort of ancient exoticism that's mysterious but exciting and wondrous, rather than menacing.
