Daniel Higgs returns with his second full length recording for
Holy Mountain after last year's critically acclaimed Ancestral
Songs and his contribution. "Atomic Yggdrasil Tarot," to
Thrill Jockey's series of books collecting art and music.
Metempsychotic Melodies continues to document Higgs' rise as a
solo performer. Raw picked acoustic guitar drones dominate
Metempsychic Melodies as the instrumental "Universal
Salutation" fades into the waking dream soliloquy of
observation "Love Abides." "Leontocephaline Rhapsody" is a
long, waltzy drone with enough spooky atmosphere for one to
think that it could have been recorded at Sunshine studios as
there is a heavy Vogel vibe to the whole thing. Rumor has it
engineer Tim Green told Higgs that he had to fade the track
otherwise they were going to be arrested. Vocals return for
the closing track "All Cherished Things" an epic about change,
sound and transformation.
