"Figs, Wasps, and Monotremes" is the second Common Eider, King
Eider disc by Rob Fisk (Badgerlore, Free Porcupine Society).
Recorded last winter in Fairbanks, Alaska, it's full of the
kind of bedroom isolation you might expect from a place where
during that time of year the sun rises for only about two
hours a day. Using mostly violin, guitar and his lovely
falsetto, Fisk has crafted a bewitching set of soundtracks for
being utterly lost. These passages ring out into the night and
last until the moments just before waking. Songs on the brink
of implosion, born of soft small movements that billow upwards
but still cast an eye towards the occasional outbursts of
bleak distortion. Comes in an 3 panel, offset printed folder
with silver on white.
