Sounds Like: SRL07 : A Broken Consort / Barbed wire blues, berkanan and J F Glidden. Bowed metallic figures suspended from ivied trees. Dense thickets of slack strings, rusted snares and splitting bark. Accordion mists gathering in the early morning light...
SRL06 : Riftmusic / Iridescent blues. A slow burning late summer fire - its motes carried on the breeze & dancing in the twilight. Restless, tumbling chord arpeggios the colour of fading heather and bracken. Shimmering filaments of acoustic guitar blown over fields of charred violin.
SRL05 : A Broken Consort / Deep forest drones and lunar blues. Fragments torn from live recordings ~ serrated, bowed dulcimer, scraped guitar and wounded violin, all bound with muted, tangled percussion.
SRL04 : Carousell / Somewhere between song and atmosphere, driving rhythm and dissolution. The lament of a dying forest ~ scraping, disjointed, rattling guitars swept over desolate violin, softened almost to melody by the distance.
SRL03 : Harlassen / Hypnotic, tidal blues. Memories of spiralling currents, driftwood and undertow. Fragments of acoustic guitar and piano swept along in choking streams of violin. Lost in shimmering waves of distortion and turbulent percussion.
SRL02 : Carousell / The rattle of barbed wire fences and the distant drone of machinery. A muffled, plaintive piano and the piercing whine of a violin. Fragments of acoustic guitar, interleaved, and looping endlessly in the twilight.
SRL01 : Heidika / Four tracks of brittle acoustic guitar woven with strands of digital distortion and haunting violin. The title track contains a vocal sample of Charlotte Rampling from Liliana Cavani's The Night Porter.
