Discography & Reviews

ORE [2009] Digitalis

"a remarkably assured exercise in electro-acoustic dronescaping... an impressive degree of patience, control, skill, and delicacy. Though understated by design, Ore nevertheless impresses as a tour de force" -- Textura full text here

"a slow burring monumental slab of post-apocalyptic dooooomy ambience" -- Aquarius Records full text here

Steel Hum [2008] Digitalis Ltd

"a mystical venture to unknown crossroads where Indian classical music meets modern composition... sounds like a lost recording of some ancient violinist, dug up in midst of some industrial ruins" -Aquarius Records

Induction EP [2007] Aphonia

"In a perfect world, Marielle Jakobsons’ blackened monster of a solo debut would cause legions of uninspired drone artists to smash their laptops and sine oscillators in frustration and scurry about trying to find something else to do. I suspect that probably will not happen, but Ore is nevertheless one singularly scary, fully-formed, and brilliant work." full text here
-- Brainwashed


"Jakobsons explores various territories per piece, and once fully covered, she let's go. . That's what makes this a great release. Drone music that is to the point and not droning for the sake of it." full text here
-- Vital Weekly

"a soft and beautiful nightmare in which violins pick the pockets of unsuspecting oscillators and subversive melodies slowly give way to new hiding places"
--The Bay Bridged full text here
