| last copies of this july 2011 release ; ... i’ll admit to being quite taken with ex-shadow ring “keyboard governor” tim goss & muse chloe mutter’s previous full-length outing (also via graham lambkin’s kye ; now o/p) ...
this, their second, seems to up the ante w/r/t production values ; maybe slightly removing some of the mystery-grit, but the clearer hues revealed are no less stultifying, taking in re-purposed psalmody, some rather chrome-esque nasal guitar shred, ... and yes, quite a bit of queasy self-deprecation via synth & simple backwards-masking procedures (listen to the sound-sample) ... |
| | call back the giants 'the rising' lp (kye 12)
call back the giants first surprised and delighted the listening world in 2010, with their warmly-recieved eponymous debut album. since that time, the duo of tim goss and chloe mutter have been locked in perfect isolation, teasing every nuance of their sound into sharp focus.
the rising presents the results of their toil, exposing call back the giants as true masters of cryptic intent. homespun keyboard minimalism, wavering teenage laments, and foreboding pronouncements of doom, synthesize into new, original matrices of thought. the rising also introduces the guitar heroics of some-time third member, big rob stewart, who lays down the law in crude basement style. the rising is a masterpiece of ambition, that meets the expectations of its audience head on.
the rising arrives in a full-color, high gloss sleeve, with photography by krysztoff dorion. |
