as-009 - 1958-2009 lp
matthew sullivan (earn / ekhein) and alex twomey (mirror to mirror / jugular forest) provide us with the most beautiful guitar / synth ballads recorded on the one year anniversary of the king of pop's death. all brand new material and not released on any of the previously released cassettes.
| looped arpeggios introduce themselves almost too smoothly to bear semblance to a guitar, and conversely their timbre and dependence of acoustics are inseparable, veiling any hint of electronic association. with unwavering correspondence all voices align with one another, migrating to each phase harmoniously. weaving together every phrase is a simple yet effective resonance. be it the dimensions of the recording space or a commonality between sullivan and twomey's pedal chains, shimmers and rumbles birth a multifarious and coalescent pastoral. |
