oracle offering ~ howl's angels (l'animaux tryst, 2011)

"Howl's Angels by Oracle Offering, one half of Brainshadows, is a quiet and beautiful meditation for echoing voice, flute and sympathetic strings by a lone female artist. Very spooky-ooky and sure to please fans of the chanteuses of Prisma or Visitations. One gets the feeling of observing an arcane ritual." cassette gods

* this is only a very small preview, three songs, of the actual tape. The tape is about 40 minutes long, in total. because it was recorded entirely on cassette, mixed and mastered to cassette, and dubbed 1-to-1 on cassette it never actually hit the digital realm. maybe in a few days we'll post all the songs. (thank you matt!)

lightning strike lightning ~ turn myself into the ocean (l'animaux tryst, 2007)

"in which the ghosts in your attic, after leafing through your boxes of can and nnck albums, decide to pick up your broken instruments and make their own music. songs overflow with more sonic ingredients than the recorded medium can hold; guitar overdrive spilling all over banjo riffs, exponential layers of wordless vocals smothering the pristine marxophone, and rumbling percussion dousing the fattest basslines. all is permeated by a warm layer of cathedral reverb and cavern echo, pointing out the space in even the most dense and cluttered compositions."

lightning strike lightning ~ creepy power (l’animaux tryst field recordings, 2011)

"L’animaux Tryst has put out a total of 3 releases by Lightning Strike Lightning. All three of these have been huge favorites here. The newest of which was put out recently in an edition of 33, now sold out at the label. Each copy includes a unique poloroid with hand-written tracklisting on it’s backside, all housed in a fabric sleeve. More great banjo/drum/vocal drone goodness with tasteful additions of electric guitars, a great follow up to “Turn Myself Into The Ocean”." broadcasts from poor farm

"...moments of breathless spectral visitation bloom alongside forest-folk recitations, bell loops drawn out to time-bending drone, heavy dirge remembrance, and general free-form folkery. While the murk of of the previous recordings has been dialed back a bit on Creepy Power, the gossamer echo chamber that remains—combined with the slightly-higher-fidelit—makes for a smoother ride and headier drift; this is one to get lost in. Special One-Time-Only Art Edition: Clear cassettes with in-house screen-printed labels, held in a case with double-sided reversible pro-printed j-card, each with a one-of-a-kind Land camera photograph taken by band member Sean Turley with tracklisting handwritten on back, held in a sewn fabric sleeve. Limited to 33." l'animaux tryst field recordings
