Label: L'animaux Tryst Recordings

in which pastoral acoustic instruments fraternize with primal drums and aetherial mantra-vocals to create some mind-blowing improvised sonic excursions. therein two extended organic jams see the band on a folkier wavelength than their more recent recordings and live shows suggest, sounding as one might expect them to operate amidst a power-outage. the first side consists of acoustic guitar strum, looped echo vocals and banshee yelps, bells, and subtle percussion, creating a sparse woodland wonderland. the bee side finds the band working in a more dense magnetic field, echoes of voices and guitars trapped in a chain of effects pedals, with incessant beats breaking through the ambience.
