| july 2008 release ; gorgeous, muted improv-psych extrapolations, jointly knit by antony “nether dawn” milton, ben spiers, and simon o’rorke into a batch of tight guitar / violin / percussion burners ...
takes vacillate between static “wall of sound” blur & almost amm-esque pointillist jabs. really, really nice stuff ; the first i’ve heard from this promising new nz aggregate.
colored-vinyl pressing in a 2-color vg kids sleeve. highly recommended !!! |

glory fckn sun
spectra
the sky done clouded over after glory fckn sun's debut album, yielding this brooding and corrosive follow-up. the new zealand sorta-super group of antony milton, ben spiers, and simon o'rorke concoct a slow-burning behemoth of metallic shivers and distortion churn, dark enough to invoke the dread name haino.
spectra is an unsettling mind-meld: spiers desolate soundscapes bleed into milton's heavy drones, which are complemented perfectly by o'rorke's restless percussion. group improvisation is the natural language of these three; even listing their solo and collaborative albums over the past decade would take way more effort than i can muster. suffice to say this is a stellar and unique record to add to their massive discographies.
in an edition of 300 red 160 gm. vinyl records, housed in silk-screened, heavy-gauge recycled stock jackets. |
