The Great Orthochromatic Wheel is The Blithe Sons first
full-length release since 2004. In the years since the
California duo of Loren Chasse and Glenn Donaldson may have
traversed poppy fields and swam to aqua cities though mostly
they've remained active with their Jewelled Antler offshoots:
Ov, Of, and Child Readers (Chasse ) or Skygreen Leopards and
Flying Canyon (Donaldson) and both in Thuja.
These five songs combine nature's melodic pull and minimalist
songs forms summoned by a miniature orchestra of eclectic
instruments. Each LP side flaunts a different depth of the
Sons, one recorded outdoors and the other inside. The indoor
set consists of slow-motion ballads built on hymn-like organ,
nylon string guitar, analog drum machine & stark percussion.
The outdoor side offers a web of exotic wind-instruments &
battery-powered electronics reverberating in cavernous hall
cut in the side of a sea-cliff.
