That Steve Fanagan has been a busy chap again. Proprietor of
Slow Loris records, a charmingly packaged Irish imprint who's
limited releases have calmed many a furrowed brow. He's back
under his Moose Eats Leaf guise for a brand new LP of home
recorded introspection, exploratory guitar meanderings infused
with some subtle psychedelic shades. I love this music for
it's brittle & lilting, melancholic yet filled with curiosity.
There's a couple of spots of cyclical repetition where you can
just feel the thrum of wide eyed guitar strings yawning into
the chasm of your soul, then he goes psychedelic campfire
folk, taking you on one of those sensual journeys where the
end is uncertain & you can feel your warm faithful hound
twitching on your lap as it dreams of chasing feral cats round
the woods on a moonlit night. Considering i rather like Voice
of the Seven Woods, I don't find his drawn out epics quite as
pure & realised as 'We Are Wolves', track 6 on this wonderful
CD, 'Adrift'. There's sections inspired by the more recent
Earth stuff, Yellow 6 & Godspeed's drifting interludes. Phil
has to get Talk Talk into the equation but this is more
freeform & organic. Space music for ferrets & badgers. Lovin'
it. Limited to 50 all in unique spirographed card sleeves,
making this a special & essential purchase.
What the label says:
Adrift is the third release from Moose Eats Leaf, the
Dublin-based musician also know as Steve Fanagan
(Northstation, Wrecking Ball etc). It's a collection of 9
meanduring and meditive instrumentals recorded over the last
three years in fits and bursts of guitar/loop
improvisation/editing and overdubbing. It's a super limited
release of just 50 numbered copies, on an individually
spirographed cdr and in an individually spirographed cardboard
cover.
