: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Divine, endlessly reverberating dream-pop from the much loved :,
: Windy & Carl, reprising and refining their very special brand of :
:' shimmering shoegaze vistas on their first album proper since ':
,: 2012. :,
: :
:' Born in dream-popÆs second wind, when it shifted further into ':
,: etheric margins after 4AD brought it to near mainstream acclaim :,
: during the æ80s, Windy & Carl were at the eye of a slow moving :
:' sound emerging from Chicago and centring around the Kranky ':
,: label in the æ90s, whom theyÆve become synonymous with over the :,
: years. :
:' ':
,: With æAllegiance and ConvictionÆ WindyÆs vocals are again an :,
: elusive, poetic presence, drifting in and out of focus to :
:' channel Nico at her smokiest, or even one of the alien spirit ':
,: voices collated in the gorgeous Tongues Of Light sides, and all :,
: typically bathed in their deeply anaesthetised sound, smudging :
:' the guitar style of Robin Guthrie into imaginary infinity. ':
,: :,
: Windy & Carl have been crafting inner space electric guitar and :
:' bass vistas for nearly three decades now, but their latest ':
,: feels as vital and vaporous as any peak opus in their vast :,
: catalog. Subtly more succinct than their previous albums, :
:' æAllegiance and ConvictionÆ finds Carl HultgrenÆs guitar ':
,: amassed in pillowy layers of bass and cirrus timbral :,
: iridescence, feeling out sound stage settings for Windy that :
:' shift from the chthonic, sepulchral drone-pop majesty of æThe ':
,: StrangerÆ, and the breezier pastoral relief of æReconÆ, to the :,
: densely forested fug that mask her in æAloneÆ, while the :
:' shimmering instrumental hope of æWill I See the DawnÆ pays up ':
,: in quietly cathartic effect up in the romantic guitar strokes :,
: and decaying angelic chorales that cradle WindyÆs fading spirit :
:' on the closer æCrossing OverÆ. Lend an ear and youÆll be richly ':
,: rewarded. :,
