Release Notes:
Originally released as a tour CD by Leeds quintet Vessels, Retreat
features original material and remixes, infusing the band's intricate
post-rock with a more firmly electronic sound. 'Walking Through Walls'
is an exemplary clash between processed, hiccuping drums and organic
instrumentation: the electric guitars are grand and sweeping while the
acoustic instruments are skillfully and elaborately picked, and it's a
similar combination that proves to be so captivating on 'Descent', but
the Errors remix of 'An Idle Brain And The Devil's Workshop' adds an
extra dimension to the band's sound resulting in a tight, math-rock
glitchfest that's a little more direct. On 'Walking Through Walls',
Bracken takes the helm, maintaining a grounding in song structure
whilst adding dubstep-style sub-bass throbsand echo chamber drum
programming. Another highlight comes from Brendon Anderegg's verdant
forest-drone remix of 'Remain' which brings a discerning sense of
ambience into play.
