*70 COPIES ONLY - FIRST COME FIRST SERVED!* A couple of months
ago we listed an incredible EP by this artist and barely had a
chance to even play it properly before it completely sold out
- never to be seen since. Indeed, little is known about the
shadowy Northern operative behind Seasons (pre-din); one
minute we're minding our own business and the next this pile
of lovingly hand crafted cds get delivered. Really, we're
beginning to wonder if Herr Seasons may have travelled out to
Wudang mountain for intensive training - there's that much
stealth in his step. Or maybe he's just small; some things
we're too afraid to ask. Either way this latest special
edition is another breath of haunted air from the Seasons
production line. Fuller and more epic than his previous 'Above
the Tides Fold' disc, 'Har Habayit BeYadeinu' takes the gentle
soundscapes he has made his own and liberally coats them in a
syrup of strings and tempered noise. Yet again a good
reference point would be his friend and collaborator Richard
Skelton - but as it ebbs and flows through its thirty minute
duration it becomes clear that 'Har Habayit BeYadeinu' defies
such simple comparison. Breathtakingly cinematic, it feels far
from the singing-bowls and field recordings of his debut, yet
there's an incredibly delicate hand at work behind the scenes.
As the shimmering strings rise and fall it is obvious that
this is an album about the tiniest changes and the most subtle
shifts. Like the works of William Basinski and Taylor Deupree
before it, you get a sense that the best things come to those
who wait. You should know by now that these aren't going to
last - we've got a measly 70 copies so BE QUICK!
