S/T

Muffled, sometimes discordant and sometimes breathtakingly harmonious experimental instrumentation. These are long, slow, and satisfying songs that are truly worth the wait.
Number 2 does it for me, but all three pieces are charmers.

1.(23:19) A punk band jamming slowly but their instruments are filled with nails and thumbtacks. A sort of pulsating rattling jumps around throughout and builds ever more intense.
2.(12:22) Absolutely beautiful violin exploration accompanied periodically by sparse airy percussion and a muzzled wash.
3.(10:17) Electronic spaciness. Static spazz outs, quiet clicks, firecracker fizzles, tapping on bhangra drums and gentle wind chime knocks. Gradually proceeds to get more and more fucked as a sort of latin campfire guitar comes to the foreground.
