fallen axe

  
 ~ guitar centered ambient zones from Montreal's master of weird ~

"Fallen Axe ~ Frank from Hobo Cubes ~ provides a well-constructed cassette comprised of lofi, guitar-based ambient/psychedelic zoners that radiate faithfully from start to finish. first, regardless of the moniker and instrument, one observes through listening that Frank is extremely adroit at structuring a track. he has a proclivity for adding or removing certain elements at the perfect time, which is conspicuous throughout As The Sun Reached Eternity.  thus, the music breaths with vitality. sometimes shimmering pleasantly in the front of your head, and at other times reverberating ominously in the dark recesses, As The Sun Reached Eternity sees this wonderful artist negotiate dark and light ambient zones..." honest bag

'unknown' podría ser la intro de un episodio de 'the twilight zone', o una de esas viejas fotos trucadas de ovnis, incluso una grabación perdida de louis and bebe barron empapada del espíritu de 'in the aureole of lowness' de patrick piper. todo, o casi todo, con una guitarra. en 'past reflections' son tantas las sensaciones. 'slight return inside yourself' es piel de gallina. decadente, transportil, reverberante, evocadora, heredera de aquel sonido mágico de 'kohl' de steven r. smith y, aunque sólo sea por el estremecedor sonido de un campanario, 'devoted realms' de ov. el clima. y así todas las canciones. muy muy bonito.
