common eider, king eider worn rs72 now expanded to a four piece, common eider, king eider have crafted yet another blast of high end wind chill that whips threw the empty spaces in your skull.. more stories of flora & fauna that hang beautifully in dynamic rooms of piano, strings, voices and stargazing guitar explosions born of layer after layer of feedback. this ghost world is all gray and black, with a high condensation of loss penetrating throughout. moonlight occasionally lights the path, but for the most part prepare to be lost in the woods. liz harris (grouper) and tom carter (charalambides) on the tracks ‘ennui’ and ‘earth liver’ add to the overall sense of dread.

common eider, king eider "figs, wasps, and monotremes" rs-37 cd edition of 1000 "figs, wasps, and monotremes" is the second common eider, king eider disc by rob fisk (badgerlore, free porcupine society). recorded last winter in fairbanks, alaska, it's full of the kind of bedroom isolation you might expect from a place where during that time of year the sun rises for only about two hours a day. using mostly violin, guitar and his lovely falsetto, fisk has crafted a bewitching set of soundtracks for being utterly lost. these passages ring out into the night and last until the moments just before waking. songs on the brink of implosion, born of soft small movements that billow upwards but still cast an eye towards the occasional outbursts of bleak distortion. comes in an 3 panel, offset printed folder with silver on white.
