Buried Treasure
It’s great to see the third artist on that recent Buried Treasure Decapoda celebration CD darting into the new release spotlight and based on the calibre of that compilation’s contents, I’m guessing it won’t be the last.
This handsomely packaged lathe-cut four track takes the spooky promise of
Retep Folo and
Dorothy Moskowitz‘s contribution and totally runs with it. The EP spins out on Dorothy’s silvery words to a backdrop of softly brushed instrumentation, “Moon”’s cradling circadians bringing to mind the eerie elegance of
Anaïs Nin’s poetics on
Bells Of Atlantis, its
dream-caught atmospherics cloudy with vaporous validation.
The melodious strangeness of the following track “Water Streams” is a wordless carnivalesque treating your psyche to a fur-clad silky serpent of
noir whimsy that melts into the gorgeous “The Black Hill Suite – Falling Skies”. A track that dials you elsewhere in inky circulars, satelliting a
Portishead-like crumbling stairway,
whisper-whipped in sultry echo.
Aniseeded aurals that bring to mind Broadcast’s brittle nostalgia, to wander light-footed into the fairground-like illuminati of “The Awakening Of Love In The Spring”, misty with Third Man-like zithers. A tantalising tease of the upcoming album that’s due very soon.
