Birdcatcher.
-'The Sky Tied Down'. (PseudoArcana)
2x CDR packaged in 16
page book.
There has been some competition to see
who would get the 1st Birdcatcher release out and PseudoArcana has won
the race!
'The Sky Tied Down' finds the duo of Bill Wood and
Antony Milton settled down for a long session of epic dark and heavy
drone-manship. Utilising heavily processed lapsteel guitars and banjo
Birdcatcher embark on a glacially paced expedition to the slow beating
heart of the dark eyed uber-drone.
The textural complexity of
these drones retain the evidence of their instrumental sources but are
transformed into something that is perhaps closer to dark electronic
ambient music than might be expected from these instruments; the timbre
of the banjo and guitar more reminiscent of doom metal than any sort of
free folk.
Recorded in a single session direct to magnetic
tape the overall sound is grainy, dense and loud. 90 minutes spent in
the company of Birdcatcher is virtually guaranteed to invoke monochrome
visions and weird ecstacies...
Packaged in a 16pg
art-book of images that seek to dispel any anthropomorphic tendency in
ornithology. Birds are by definition inhumane;
alien.
2xCDR packaged in 16pg book.
