Ghosted was a big LP at TSMM HQ a couple of years ago so I'm delighted to see intrepid instrumental trio: Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling & Andreas Werliin back on Drag City for a follow up. Expect more extended insistent grooves, ritual percussion, mantric minimalism and even a bit of light peeping through the previously tightly drawn studio curtains.
What The Release Notes Say:
An utterly unique guitar/bass/drums triad: the guitar sounds like anything but a guitar; bass and drums simultaneously insistent and relaxed. Telephathic group-think opens a window to fresh fields of fusion: funk-jazz heads, polyrhythmic skeletons, ambient pastorals, post-kraut drones and shimmering soundtrack reveries. A music of sustained tension and deep atmosphere, marked by subtle, shifting dynamics playing out in an open sound field.
