Kremit The Horn
Reviewed 2007-10-14
Beautiful, delicate, lo-fi, ambient, psychedelia. Features looped guitars, harmonium, faint bongos, and a very floaty fem vox. Very backgroundy and fairly similar from track to track. FCC clean. Picks 1,2,3,5,7,8,9

*1-7:09) Bed of backwards looped guitar, harmonium, echoey whistling. Floaty fem vox.
*2-7:34) Muted guitar plucking, bongos, sounds like something rediscovered from a closet from the 60s. Becomes very droney.
*3-5:57) Lighter, fast strum. Glockenspiel. Chimes. Folky and airier. A chantlike song.
4-4:58) Steady plucking that builds in intensity. Faint recording of Jewish chanting towards end?
*5-3:01) Quiet drone and childlike, sleepy song.
6-6:17) Thicker swirl of looped electronics gives way to folky singing becomes dominant on this one.
*7-2:20) Instr. Featuring the harmonium. Gamelan sounding stuff and various light percussion. Last 10 sec. silence.
*8-2:20) Chimes, harmonica. Lullaby. Last 30 sec. silence!
*9-4:21) Similar feeling as 8. Pretty ambience. Last 15 sec. silence.
10-9:00) One repeated motif from harmonium to bluegrassy strings, then back to harmonium and bongo.
