Seabuckthorn - Other Other (Fluid Audio)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

A remarkable LP from one man quartet Seabuckthorn for Fluid-Audio. Preparing his guitars in unusual ways, mostly playing with a bow & with judicious use of electronic processing, he has created a moving modern classical abstraction, that is deeply, yet ambiguously, emotional & that requires careful, repeated listening.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

Over the space of this album, a slow and patient unfolding occurs. Strings are able to breathe, finding the space they need to move, although their movements are lurching, clunky, and convulsive. Seabuckthorn illuminates the distance – a family, a time spent together, and a beautiful summer. It has the feel of old European adventures and trips to glorious cities, markets, churchyards, and yawning fields, with a population yet to face the music of climate change or even a World War.

Years erode the features, and a scattering of distortion eats away at the music. The year in question has faded away, and time has gone way beyond evening or dusk, but Seabuckthorn brings it back and makes it relevant once again. The music is late and so is the hour, but even as the light dims, a beautiful, rusty afterglow is left behind, a dull gleam coming from a King’s crown.
