A review by Jason Pitzl-Waters of A Sweeping Curve of Sound:
I have always been a fan of the more haunted and esoteric side of the new
wave of psychedelic folk. More Espers than Devendra Banhart, more British
Wyrd Folk than Naturalismo if you catch my drift. So youÆll get a general
idea of where IÆm coming from when I say I really enjoy the sounds I find
on the new split-EP from Novemthree and Arrowwood.
Both projects deal with haunting folk styles, sounds that evoke a sort of
timeless atmosphere of poetry and myth. ArrowwoodÆs contribution weaves an
almost ambient haze of melancholic moods, which, lead by vocalist Chelsea
Robb (with accompaniment from Pythagumus, Lindsey Hoffman, Josh Lovejoy),
transports you to a time when haunting laments were the bread and butter
of troubadours everywhere. Meanwhile, Novemthree (spearheaded by
Pythagumus) has a sound that evokes memories of the spooky pastoral folk
found on The Wicker Man Sountrack (which if you know me, is high praise
indeed). Songs that seem ready to turn the wheel of the year and
initiate you to deeper mysteries.
The EP is a release on the new Little Somebody Records label, who
utilizes unique packaging (two mini-CDs with some marvelous graphic design)
to create a treasured collectors item. This is strong and talented work
that should perk up the ears of any folk-music enthusiast, even if their
tastes donÆt run down the same crooked paths mine do. This is music that
beckons you towards a dark wood, and you should heed its call.
