Southern Lord
Sunn O))) co-founders Stephen O’Malley & Greg Anderson originally conceived the White albums to be “acoustic” but the sessions at Fontanelle’s Magnetic Park studios in Portland Oregon quickly took a far different route toward the psychedelic and the electronic/synthetic, with trance and drone experiments.
The “White 2” album was notably the first collaboration with the Hungarian legend & singer Attila Csihar, which has since begat a long and fruitful creative story of the O))) ethos. With the White albums Sunn O))) took a bold step the experimental and highly collaborative path the concept of the group has traveled since. Together with Attila, “White 2” featured the extraordinary talents of special guests Joe Preston, Rex Ritter & Dawn Smithson. Along with “White 1”, the album brought the concept of Sunn O))) forth from the shadows of the earth unto the broader cosmos spheres, arriving at a truly transcendent note with the pairing of the “DECAY” tracks featuring Attila. And, the sky cracked open.
