Sombre minimal strings and guit plucking, long songs that usually build. Rachels crossed with Low. Somewhat experimental and arty, but not, not as painful as that sounds. Drums do appear on track 7. Excellent morning or late night music, challenging and smart. Beautiful stuff, one of the few cd’s I burned a copy of for myself for 2001 if that means anything. Check it out or miss out.

1) starts sparse, quiet, builds to lush somber ¾ minor toned strings + piano
2) more echoey and treated and slow, otherwise like #1
3) starts w/ spoken word thing, more slow strings and treated echoey guit, builds to next track
4) louder, more intense w/ echoey desperate vocs, repetitive, ends w/ sounds of Mourning Dove and other birds, heavy for anyone with dove call associations
5) quiet understated vocs w/ sparse echoey plucking, builds toward end w/ guit + strings
6) more piano centered and musical, still somber
7) drums lend an even more “song-like” quality to the repetitive drones, loud epic quality
8) spacey guit harmonics and indie vocs, builds rhythm slowly, ends 6:30, then brief childlike vocs as “surprise” ending (careful)
