- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
"Make no mistake, this is epic music: not harsh but comforting of the drama
and tragedy of life. This could be the sanitised soundtrack to the reality of
the human existence. Powerful, darkly melodic guitars swell while deceptively
peaceful riffs seem lost then let loose with huge, brief crescendos. With
lumbering guitar tones, and drums that pulsate like those ripples in Jurassic
Park, Orbit; Dear Beacon are certainly not on the softer side of the
post-rock spectrum. "Flee! to the mammoth canopy", is Wooden Idea
Production's first offering and years in the making, beautifully capturing
their unique spin on the genre of post-rock. The subtle dynamic shifts and
intriguing sonic juxtapositions make it Highly original and unforgettable."
"After a year-long absence, Orbit; Dear Beacon have returned with a sprawling
and lush masterpiece. Their founding principle of progressive experimental
rock remains the same, but the 12 months spent exploring influences and
mastering their art has made such ways of working yield significantly more
epic, robust sounds. Flee! to the mammoth canopy offers a more accessible,
lush sweep of sound than many might think. It's varied, dazzling, huge,
mournful and full of spine tingling surprises. Ultimately, they gently and
sometimes apocalyptically demand that you take them on their own terms,
rewarding handsomely with a journey to an Eden-like fantasy land inhabited by
super intelligent mammoths fleeing to their final resting place, conjuring
visions of Jim Henson's darker work."
