Beautiful decay from Drekka.
Crackling folk textures and bent strings shine out from the
reverb-laden soundscape mazes. vocals and violin escape the
murk with their melancholic melodies fighting off the static
to cement themselves in your mind. electronics get washed in
but the strings are never far off. everything here feels so
delicate, so fragile. "ancestral cave sequence" is a ghostly
orchestra leading you away, serenading you into the gloaming.
anderson has really unlocked something stunning. edition of
80, pro-dubbed w/ silver-on-clearblue imprinting.
40min live cassette recorded as a series of improvised
soundtracks for a short film by Nathan Vollmar and Andrew
Perry Davis. it all went down 11 Jan 08, as the opening
reception for Andrew's sculpture exhibition entitled, 'Clan of
the Cave Mouse'. I love the tape, which involved a
stream-of-consciousness collaging of various recordings of
DREKKA covers by friends over the years... voices and
instruments played by Day2 luminaries such as Mark Trecka,
Angelica Busque and many more... even the mysterious Icelandic
teen terror, Almar makes an appearance.
