Label: Horn of Plenty
生々しい記録状態が素晴らし過ぎる静謐な実験フォーク!!2016年から停止状態にある個人的激推しカセットレーベル米Vitrineにも音源を残している、ビジュアルアーティスト、画家、実験楽器ビルダー、そしてレーベルCor Ardensも運営する奇才Jim Strong。氏が率いる4~5人組の集団Eyes of the Amaryllisの2nd LP。 小粒な塊をポツポツと並べる様な静かな構造が非常に気持ち良く、牧歌/民族的歌唱、自然音、エレクトロニクスを退廃的な感触で仕上げたゴーストイメージの全8曲。1st LP同様に英Horn of Plentyからのリリース。
As the mist clears from their Sift LP (hop9) Eyes of the Amaryllis return to Horn of Plenty with the equally enigmatic Perceptible to Everyone.
Recorded in various remote locations around the northeast of the US over a few warm months in 2022, Perceptible to Everyone maps the band's poetry in nebulous song forms that dance on their constant fission between pastoral and ghostly inner galaxies. Its eight tracks utilize a wide range of instruments and techniques to span an alien, ritualistic territory where melodies and rhythms appear from meandering passages of sound and ramshackle sci-fi settings. The culmination leaves Perceptible to Everyone gesturing as if it were an alluring otherworldly ethnographic document.
EotA’s non-idiomatic methods make comparisons difficult but traces of Smegma, early D.D.A.A, Garbage and the Flowers, The Tower Recordings, and Flaming Tunes will get you some of the way there. The rest is uncharted.
