Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words - Sally Hill
The Sound Projector Blog, by Edward Pinsent.
http://www.thesoundprojector.com/2010/01/30/invasion-table-vacant-stare

Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words meanwhile has put out a little EP
called Sally Hill (KALLIGRAMMOFON #9) onto a 20-minute cassette tape,
a re-release of one of his very first records from 2005. As you may
know we devote much ear-time to this heroic and depressive Swede,
whose records do much to speculate about the afterlife while also
exploring the furthest extremes of the mental whirlpool in which its
creator often finds himself embroiled. Sally Hill, including an
opening track which is inspired by girl-group records of the 1960s, is
filled with delicate, mournful, layered drones which express an
insatiable longing and wistfulness, carefully worked through over long
periods of time.

Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words - Sally Hill
Vital Weekly #703, by Frans DeWaard

On a C20 cassette comes a re-issue of 'Sally Hill EP', which was
originally released in 2005 (as a 3"CDR by Kning Disk) by Thomas
Ekelund, who works as Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words. One could say
that Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words is a microsound/ambient glitch
project, which take, like so many others, notions and connotations
from the world of popmusic, in this case sixties girl groups, which if
it wasn't written on the press release, I would have never figured
out. Minimalist drones built from whatever original pop song, glitchy
and refined. Nothing special under the microsun, but in the hands of
Ekelund this is well taken care of. Nice one indeed.
