sunken
new zealand eels lp [ec002]

sunken's previous two albums on pseudo arcana were long form chord-organ driven flights into the heart of the ecstatic blaring sun. despite antony milton (the nether dawn, glory fckn sun etc.) and stefan neville's (pumice) lovecraftian attempts to posit sunken as sea-shanties sung by sailors lost to cthulhu at the bottom of the deepest darkest ocean, somehow their surging reed driven organs and vocal streams broadcast via cracked electronics seemed to suggest sailors breaking free of the weeds and swimming towards the light, and even, occasionally, breaking the surface.

their first vinyl release new zealand eels however, is a tentacle shot from the abyss to drag the sailors back down into the service of the lurker in the deep. bleak, black and completely drowned, new zealand eels beams five submarine tracks from the lost to the lost through the milky darkness. with the vocal melodies pushed to the foreground and the instrumental origins of the music obscured as never before by damaged baby monitors, power starved dictaphones, tape saturation and spring reverb, sunken are now finally, truly lost to the abyss. two drowned sailors invite you to breathe in the water, forget about life on the surface and lay down with the kraken amidst the curling weeds.

what has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men.

evensong pt. two

“mass-market” reissue of a fantastic july 2003 cdr by antony milton, a highly prolific artist with scads of releases on his pseudo-arcana label as well as wire bridge, foxglove, pink skulls, humbug, apoplexy, and celebrate-psi-phenomenon. this disc is anthony working in “sound art” mode; some it sounds like a cassette-bound rafael toral, other recordings inhabit a distant morricone-esque space, while others still come across a tape-hiss laden “cinema pour l’oreille” of ghost-voices and scraped string noise. highly evocative...

last visible dog press release...

antony milton is one of the new important voices to appear from new zealand in the wake of the dead c and the mid-90's 'free noise' scene. milton is at all times an intelligent interpreter of what's come in the last two decades--this is after all the same islands that brought us xpressway records and the clean.

nether dawn is arguably milton's take on free noise, though it feels less abstract (and off-putting) than the likes of handful of dust and flies inside the sun, utilizing instead a warm, broken drone not unlike 'wreck small speakers on expensive stereos" (ajax); that is to say, this is a more mellow, intimate drone experience for one and guest. there may also be a hint of influence from finish collaborator uton (who is the modern master of shortwave-drone-bliss.)

"slow motion atmospheric improvised electric drone 'blues' recorded after midnight in the midst of winter. the nether dawn is the newest of antony milton's solo projects. electronics and field recordings (of rain swept streets) mix with 'gestural' instrumentation and amp rumble. evening music."

the nether dawn - "long shadow of a dream"

the nether dawn is arguably the most narcotic, most ethereal of the many guises of the ever-prolific and talented antony milton. for the unfamiliar few, milton runs the sainted pseudoarcana label out of his native new zealand and records as myrtu!, a.m., paintings of windows, clay man in the well, swagger jack and as a member of claypipe, with throats as fine as needles, the stumps, glory fckn sun and more. running through all of his projects is something of a dreamlike, nostalgic delirium that is concretized and distilled on "long shadow of a dream."

the recordings on "long shadow of a dream" date from 2004-2006. despite this temporal span they seem like they've emerged organically from the same eternal, humming tapestry of sound. the album's final track is, unquestionably, its apex and it contains what are perhaps the most soul-baring, cathartic moments which milton has committed to tape. here, antony's vision becomes nearly visible in its mammoth totality - howling whisps of feedback, billows of keyboard and loops conjoin with voice and throat in ecstatic communion. the aural landscape of milton's nether dawn will utterly entrance and beguile you and, in the end, it will surely devour you whole.
