Releasenotes:
A specially priced double-CD issue of Secret Pyramid's two albums, "The Silent
March" and "Movements of Night." Originally released in 2011 on cassette by the
Canadian micro-imprint Nice-Up International, The Silent March can be viewed as
something of a mission statement for Amir Abbey's skyriding Secret Pyramid
project. Critics have compared his sound to the more blasted entries in the
Popul Vuh catalog and to Flying Saucer Attack's cherished fuzz devotionals, and
indeed Abbey's reverb-drenched songforms and titanic edifices of drone do feel
at times as though they've been cut from the same cloth. Abbey weaves themes of
birth, death, nostalgia and existential dread into an album as cohesive as it is
all-consuming, a spell that seeks to simultaneously welcome and protect against
darkness in its many forms. 2013's "Movements of Night" finds Abbey further
develop and refine the haunting, faraway sound-world that earned the
aforementioned release well-due praise. Deftly navigating the properties of
sleep and unconsciousness, Abbey charts a course that is equal parts harrowing
and funereal, tranquil and sublime. Juxtaposing the everyday with the obscured,
the half-there melodies and arcs of hazy guitar histrionics dissolve into a more
familiar, tangible atmosphere in which radiant drones are tethered to a driving
bassline. With "Movements of Night," Abbey casts his net into the abyss of the
unconscious and returns with a potent paean to the dreamworld.
