ancient birdsong tales... uncompromising abstractions... sonic blasts of pysch drone... primordial static... in nature's powwow, raking guitar strings into twilight... the truth...
like soft thunder echoing in a river gorged valley, below the high peaked mountains covered with thick groves of swaying pine...
like an oil painting with deep violet-blue color harmonies playing off of warmer tones, or black and white gradations intermingling with undulating line...
