taiga remains
"ribbons of dust"

rs-32
cd
edition of 300

already released as a series of 3" cd-r's, we're proud to finally drop taiga remains' blazing white-out guitar suite 'ribbons of dust'. although originally conceived as stand-alone pieces, the four tracks that make up this hour long disc can easily be seen as one continuous meditation on total delay emptiness as channeled through the electric six-string drone worship of flying saucer attack and andrew chalk. not at all the overtone distortion that mr. cobb usually trips in, these verses seem to have been written during heavy snowed in nights that lapsed into early morning. vibrating, soothing, disturbing, and completely built for headphone trips to the stratosphere. comes in a chipboard pack with black ink letterpressed artwork.

taiga remains "crushed radiant deities"

luminescent, wrecked shards of overtone drones merged with zoned and disembodied choral whispers and ribbons of pure white electricity. "crushed radiant deities" is the first widely available taiga remains release, bundling remastered versions of the two tracks from the long out-of-print "paper lanterns" ep with two new longform works to form a dense, polyphonic fugue of dynamic collisions and endless collapses.

"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.
