200 HAND PACKAGED COPIES ONLY FOR THE
WORLD* A brand new, highly limited
release from Under The Spire, this time
boasting a new EP's worth of material
from Aaron Martin, whose previously made
great contributions to the catalogues of
Type and Preservation with his solo
works and collaborations with artists
like Machinefabriek and Part Timer. As a
multi-instrumentalist Martin is
formidable, and on these compositions he
sounds more like an ensemble than a lone
musician: while 'Terrace' showcases an
onslaught of strings - from gloriously
wild and unkempt harmonised cello to
meandering plucked melodies. By 'Shot
Tower' he's already moved on to an
expanded palette, working with what
sounds like ukulele, harmonica and organ
swells, and 'Breath Of Embers' shows an
even greater departure, embracing
vocals, high-pitched bells and shrill
string drones. It actually sounds a bit
like Christmas. Arguably best of the lot
is the windswept 'Gravel Scar', whose
reverberant, quivering sustains are
right up there with similar work by A
Broken Consort, which is high praise
indeed. Essential Purchase.
