The Talking Book: - Volume 2 - Bill Gould & Jared Blum [VINYL]

Dark drones rumble underneath the tracks, while grainy guitars hint to long forgotten melodies of lonesome americana nostalgia. Distant voices flicker here and there creating a ghostly, haunting tension. Together with the eerie reverbs that appear ever so often, the tracks have a strangely deserted, sometimes nearly shamanic feeling to it. Ranging from thick bass-ladden drones and delicate sound-mangling to bitter sweet piano or guitar lines, 'The Talking Book' creates a large variety of different atmospheres and sound-aesthetics that all manage to maintain a saddening melancholic touch.
