Buried and Resurfaced

half_a_clayhouse This is such a haunting album. It is an immersive soundscape that still maintains itself as being something fully musical, and it strikes a perfect balance between atmospheric and melodic. The tape decay on Black Sea (as well as on Behind these Walls) is some of the most unique examples I’ve heard, yet without taking things so far that it no longer feels like music. The tone is delicately mournful and poignantly beautiful. I wish I could find more artists like this band. Favorite track: Black Sea.

Lost Tribe Sound First time I listened to this, I was driving along the outskirts of town on a long stretch of highway. To one side of me was clear blue skies, to the other was a brown wall of desert, a mile high, moving towards me at 60 miles an hour. Racing the storm, watching large chunks of landscape and debris get tossed around in front of me as if performing some strange and menacing dance...this music was its intense center, its conductor of ruin. I cannot imagine a more perfect setting for this album. Favorite track: The Quiet Rust.
