Releasenotes:
Deaf Center is seemingly never of the times. Whether it's the nostalgic
component often associated with Pale Ravine and Owl Splinters, or the time
between releases, waiting and remembering are part of the experience. Recount is
a bridge between full albums, where time and familiarity are mesmerizingly
suspended.
Recorded during rehearsal sessions in 2012 and 2008, Follow Still and Oblivion
make full use of the Deaf Center spectrum. In the direction of a live
performance, Recount plays off of experience and reaction; a balancing act of
improvisation, sonic detail, and emotion.
Follow Still, recorded in Berlin 2012, brings you to a recent past. THe
13-minute track leads you down a melancholic pathway and into tunnels of memory.
Minimal piano passages and warm repeating organ sounds are at the core, slowly
blurring your sense of time while faint guitar amp noise and the sound of
effect-pedals switching off and on makes you feel present at the recording.
Engraved with intricate details and quiet moments, Follow Still pursues the
night until dawn.
Oblivion, recorded 2008 in Oslo, recalls the live sets that followed the release
of Pale Ravine. With this era condensed into one long track, the piece is an
overwhelming mass of orchestral haze, crying strings and droning bass. The dense
fog doesn't burden but calms, and as it starts to clear, reveals a true
grandiosity.
Recount is both a division and fusion of sound and time. Two tracks, two years,
two people, two cities; ultimately, Deaf Center straddles worlds to lead to
something unquantifiable and timeless.
