 Formed in Mülheim an der Ruhr in 1992, Bohren & der Club of Gore emerged from the German hardcore and metal scene only to abandon it almost entirely - slowing their music to a crawl and inventing a genre all their own. Blending the hushed melancholy of jazz with the weight and menace of doom, the band pioneered what became known as ‘doom jazz’ or ‘noir jazz’ - glacial, instrumental soundscapes built from mournful saxophone, spectral Rhodes, brooding piano, deep double bass and the softest brush of drums. Over three decades and a devoted international following, they have made after-hours darkness their signature.
 ‘Dolores’ (2008), their sixth album, is arguably the most elegant expression of that art. Across ten pieces and a taut 58 minutes, mournful saxophone, softly glowing Rhodes, brushed drums and deep, patient bass drift by like smoke in an empty late-night bar.
 Widely regarded as one of the band’s finest and most accessible entry points, ‘Dolores’ is slow, beautiful and quietly devastating - an essential piece of the Bohren catalogue and a cornerstone of any discerning collection.
 2LP on Dark Green vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.
