Release Notes:
--------------
Crow Tongue is ditchdigger hymns and callous hand songs; neanderthal loops
and cromagnon drones; home-made instruments and circuit-bent effects;
broken machines and primitive electronics. They are curated and
performed by Timothy Renner, founder of the important 'Dark Holler' and
'Hand/Eye' labels and performer with Stone Breath, Mourning Cloak and as
Timothy Revelator.
On their releases Crow Tongue produce experimental roots based song that
gives an exploratory aspect in support of Tim's ancient sounding voice.
Crow TongueÆs first full length finds them summoning distant howls from
the fog of night. Fingerpicked strings and Eastern instruments recall
Crow TongueÆs musical heritage (the acid-folk of Stone Breath), but
here they are layered with primitive homemade instruments, circuit-bent
electronics, and mantric drones.
ôGhost Eye Gazeö opens the album. A 5-part drone-raga, improvised to
back a shamanic chant, pushing from free-folk to free-noise and back
again. ôSeekerö follows in 2 parts with bass dulcimer and tablas leading
into an electric swarmandal excursion. The album closes with ôCandle,
Corpse, and Bellö where Crow Tongue shows their dub influence with
guimbri and tabla-machine slowly spinning through the echochamber.
