"molten strings, train wrecks, and birdsong"
almost two years in the making, "molten strings, train wrecks and birdsong" is an expansive compilation loosely centered around sound made by stringed instruments. strings are the primary sources of sound on all of these recordings, and the majority of the works are generated solely from them. the record offers a wealth of different approaches to these instruments. from the scathing, feedback blasts yielded by fred lonberg-holm's cello and mini-amplifiers, to the dexterous blur of c. spencer yeh's violin fretwork, from the pastoral vistas of peter wright's danelectro 12 string, to the billowy dirges of birchville cat motel, zaimph, family underground, and taiga remains.
lending the record even further diversity are joyous bouzouki renderings from the north sea, and damaged, eerie and beautiful contributions from robert horton and brothers of the occult sisterhood. presented together, the record is cohesive in the same way that the best compilations are, flowing effortlessly from track to track and, in the process, demonstrating the diversity and immense capability of all things stringed.
