Yes yes,
It's true. We're going on tour. I'm piggy-backing on the backs of fuzzy-distorto-giants SILVER PINES (myspace.com/silverpines) this June. I'm bringing a lot of inanimate friends with me too, I'm really very cumbersome when it comes to these things and don't get out much...

***note about SLTM live: it's much different. I will be remixing songs from &hope still, and new stuff, and it's going to be more like a noisey-dance-tunes into walls of electro-emotional intelligence (w/ strings, of course) that would come out of your brain if each synapes made frequencies and beats when they fired off (it sounds like brain activity I hope...that's what this is all about anyway)))))))***

Oh shit:

...and here's a nice review from Finland, Noise.Fi specifically, which was translated by Olli of Ous Mal (myspace.com/ousmal) who make really nice tunes indeed w/ his significant other I think, go listen...

"One man band playing post rock in a bedroom? Or maybe it’s not really rock, because it’s not electric. A letter that came with the recording proposes a term “post-psychedelic chamber rock” which describes better Silent Land Time Machine’s mostly acoustic music.

&hope still is wrapped in carton sleeve which has waterfalls in it. The list of songs and other information have been damaged by water and can’t be really read. The Texan man behind the music speaks in singular. He says the record is made in “my bedroom” and the band “consists of me” without giving away his identity. All this fits perfectly to the music: the record is made really skilfully and it gives an idea of music that is carefree and has formed by itself.

The record is three quarters long and the time slips a way nicely while listening. The music is based on layers which repeat and overlap towards the climax. The music sounds like more discreet and instrumental version of A Silver Mt Zion and comparing it to other Constellation artists is not out of question. But the mostly acoustic music of Silent Land Time Machine is not reaching out for noisy crescendos but intimate and mesmerizing soundscapes using electronic noises, vocal harmonies and string instruments.

&hope still is a really sympathetic record and it has content for many listens to come. This music is fragile yet powerful – it’s something you don’t have to argue about but you feel comfortable being with."

...yes!
