`: :'
`: Twenty-two just wasnÆt going to cut :'
`: it. ThatÆs how many copies of Night :'
`: Coercion into the Company of Witches :'
`: were self-issued in 2008 by Natural :'
`: Snow Buildings, the cult-followed :'
`: and -inspired French drone-folk duo, :'
`: before it was reissued in October in :'
`: a much greater quantity. In some :'
`: ways, Night Coercion is a strange :'
`: candidate for such a wide release: :'
`: itÆs relentless and unforgiving and, :'
`: with its shortest piece lasting 18 :'
`: minutes and its longest 58, absurdly :'
`: ambitious. ItÆs also three hours :'
`: long. :'
`: :'
`: But then again, Natural Snow :'
`: Buildings are known for testing :'
`: endurance; The Dance of the Moon and :'
`: the Sun and Shadow Kingdom, two of :'
`: their most highly regarded releases, :'
`: are both closer to three hours than :'
`: two. Those albums, accessible by NSB :'
`: standards, were broken up :'
`: intermittently with short (again, by :'
`: NSB standards) soothing folk songs :'
`: that added balance next to the :'
`: longer droning tracks. :'
`: :'
`: Night Coercion, however, is all :'
`: drone, a monstrous mood piece :'
`: without a respite throughout its six :'
`: incredibly long tracks (except for a :'
`: few moments of silence in between). :'
`: ItÆs more what weÆre used to hearing :'
`: from Isengrind (Solange Gularte, the :'
`: female half of the duo who tends to :'
`: favor longer drone suites) than :'
`: TwinSisterMoon (male half Mehdi :'
`: Ameziane, who writes shorter :'
`: delicate solo songs, sung in an :'
`: epicene Vincent Gallo-style :'
`: whisper). Lyrics are absent on this :'
`: album; instead, vocals materialize :'
`: as chants, hums, and background :'
`: wails or are missing for long :'
`: stretches altogether. :'
`: :'
`: Borrowing from whatever disparate :'
`: cult/god/religion sounds ancient or :'
`: abstruse (the tracklist hints at :'
`: voodoo Loa, Greek mythology, and :'
`: Mithraism), Natural Snow Buildings :'
`: have always been interested in :'
`: esoteric weirdness, frequently :'
`: peppering their releases with :'
`: phrases lifted from the dusty tomes :'
`: in occult bookstores. As a whole, :'
`: the record, which begins and ends :'
`: with ritualistic chanting, sounds :'
`: like the soundtrack to a seance, :'
`: replete with otherworldly moans and :'
`: a sense of foreboding that lingers :'
`: over the album like heavy ceremonial :'
`: incense. :'
`: :'
`: Even the pieces that begin :'
`: peacefully are deceptive: ôGorgonsö :'
`: starts as a folk idyll that slowly :'
`: shifts into an outright nightmare; :'
`: its patient plod to the climax makes :'
`: its final few minutes all the more :'
`: terrifying. This is the benefit of :'
`: Night CoercionÆs length: like the :'
`: folk tale of the frog unaware of its :'
`: impending death as itÆs very :'
`: gradually boiled alive in a pot of :'
`: water, Natural Snow Buildings :'
`: provide no warnings of whatÆs to :'
`: come, no demarcations between :'
`: tranquility and terror. Changes in :'
`: tone happen so slowly that they :'
`: arenÆt fully perceived until the :'
`: listener is submerged in a roiling :'
`: cauldron of distortion, sustained :'
`: notes bleeding together into one :'
`: extended blur. :'
`: :'
`: Night Coercion is a challenging :'
`: release, even for Natural Snow :'
`: BuildingsÆ established fans. For :'
`: some, itÆll be a slog; for others, :'
`: too abrasive. But while itÆs :'
`: certainly less immediately :'
`: gratifying than their better known :'
`: work, the patient will be rewarded :'
`: with an album that wonderfully :'
`: articulates the power of deliberate :'
`: pacing, re-released in a quantity :'
`: that suggests great hope for the :'
`: current state of experimental music. :'
