Dark experimental/ambient noise from a Wisconsin duo that is half staffed by a former member of Oakland outfit Noisegate. This stuff is very soundtrack’ish, like perfect for a Gus Van Zandt or early David Lynch film, incorporating low drones w/ organic sounds along w/ spooky yet pretty guitars, flutes. Really good stuff, evolving, taking the art form to new heights. (CAUTION: as all tracks fade together narcotically some end cold more than others. Watch endings or put on continuous mode and use the faders) 1) very soundtracky: a beautiful drone w/ industrial percussive embellishments then a mystic gothy guitar/flute melody rises from the fog covered waters, at 8 minutes intensifies, speeds up 2) rain/fire crackling over low drone, ominous repeating minimal guitar notes, thunder later turns fire into water and the piece becomes more echoey guitar centered 3) rain fades and a lush overtoned drone envelopes, beautiful scrapes and distant thundering and howls, builds into a near swirl 4) tow pieces in one: creepy bent synth tones overlayed, pensive haunting and crazy, after 11 minutes devolves into a pure low drone that thickens slowly, after ~14 min a new overtone arises, more upfront pitched and complex, random, evolving into swirling white noise 5) white swirls slowly chill out become industrial pulse, after ~8 min minimal guitar chords appear | ||
