Ulver - ATGCLVLSSCAP

ATGCLVLSSCAP is the twelfth studio album by the Norwegian experimental collective Ulver. Written, performed and produced by Ulver, the album was released on January 22, 2016, via newly formed, London-based label House of Mythology.

The music was culled from multitrack recordings made at twelve different improvisatory "free rock" live shows the band performed in February 2014, and later edited and enhanced in the studio by Daniel O’Sullivan.[1][2] The album has been described as “Ultimately a piece of work that exists above and beyond any conventional live recording, rather a hallucinatory travelogue as potent an experience to bear witness to as it was to construct.”[1]

On October 30, 2015, the song “Cromagnosis” was broadcast on Baba Yaga’s Hut via online radio station Resonance FM; and later uploaded to Mixcloud.

The song "Moody Stix" features samples from the song "Doom Sticks" from A Quick Fix of Melancholy. "Glammer Hammer" reinterprets "Glamour Box (Ostinati)" from Messe I.X-VI.X. "Nowhere (Sweet Sixteen)” is a new arrangement of "Nowhere/Catastrophe" and "Ecclesiastes (A Vernal Catnap)" reinterprets the ending of "Tomorrow Never Knows;" both original songs are from Perdition City. "England's Hidden" contains vocal samples of "England" from Wars of the Roses.

The album’s title, ATGCLVLSSCAP, is an initialism referring to the first letter of each twelve signs of the Zodiac, from Aries to Pisces.
