- wary the mind (2) (17:20)
| august 2011 release ; utterly beguiling lp of electro-acoustic music from the shadowy hobo sonn, taking in cracked electronics, “mystical” piano figures, resonant feedback-based drones, and some fine minimal chamber / bassoon writing ... all reminiscent of the best of the “nurse with wound list” sides, yet made (convincingly) in the here & now ...
... easily one of the best “mystery” records we’ve received all year ... highly recommended !!! |

artist: hobo sonn
title: wary the mind
format: lp
label: amen absen
matrix: aa 003
wary the mind is the long awaited second lp by hobo sonn following the self-released debut - the thundering nature of reality. constructed using electronics, effects, piano, sampler, mixer, field recordings, etc., this album presents an audible voyage that meticulously weaves together seemingly random reference points into a cohesive yet perplexing whole.
side one begins with processed feedback shifting amongst tape hiss/static and muted drones where intermittent signals of disintegrated sound seep in like a new breath and then recede leaving near silence. this sparseness provides the opportunity to contemplate the space between each frequency and brings to focus the sequence of the sounds as they have been assembled. a hypnotic and glistening piece for piano introduces the second side which evolves into an electronic buzz accented by a raga-esque feedback swirl coaxed from the unexpected sound-source. the well placed field recordings, with the chimes, clatter and chattering, bring things to a gently decaying conclusion.
the album is pressed in an edition of 330 copies. |
