It starts off with the | | | | lush "Explosions in a Four Chambered Heart" which is | | | | a gorgeous looping rhythmical beast ending in some | | | | ominous dark drone which I wasn't expecting. A lot | | | | of melodies on the songs are cyclical and they | | | | spiral into your head in no time. I'm on my second | | | | listen now and it's already getting it's hooks well | | | | and truly in there. There are lighter moments and | | | | darker moments and certainly as the album comes to a | | | | close it's a lot more brooding that you'd think. It | | | | ticks all the usual haunting and emotive boxes | | | | whilst somehow managing to balance being serious and | | | | having a bit of that Nils Frahm style playfulness | | | | about it. Lovely!! | | | | | | | | --- | | | | | | | | With their second album Moon Ate the Dark is taking | | | | the next step of contemporary piano composition. | | | | Moving on from their well-received debut album in | | | | 2012, Moon Ate the Dark II is based on an | | | | extraordinary playful and varied approach to | | | | melodies and drones with dedication to subtle, yet | | | | complex details. | | | | The combination of Anna Rose Carter's piano, violin | | | | and keyboard playing and Christopher Bailey's | | | | electronics, amplifiers as well as organs and | | | | synthesizers creates something less shadowy than | | | | their first album in favour of a more melodic, still | | | | thoughtful endeavour that manages to virtuously move | | | | on the thin line of nostalgia and optimism. | | | | | | | | While the shorter pieces of the record are mostly | | | | based on lively piano tunes completed by forceful | | | | electronic components, the attentive "Sleepy Vipers" | | | | is dragging the listener into drones and violin that | | | | slow the pace to create an engaging high mark in the | | | | duo's recordings underlined by the excellent | | | | production that will grip the listener until the | | | | very last notes of the wonderful closing track "Lo". | | | | Moon Ate the Dark II is an impressive achievement | | | | and evidence of how diverting a meeting of two parts | | | | can be if they match as perfectly as this. | | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------ | | | _|_______ _________ ______________________________| |__. | \_ _ \_\_ \_ \ ______\ ___/__ | | | | / / / / / /_/ /\___ / - N E W S - | | | | /___/ / ____/ / / / / / | | | | | /___/____/ \___/____/_________/________________________| |__| | | | | | | hi2u! go to the show, buy the records, stop whining | | | _|______ ____ ___ __________ ________________________| |__. | \_ ___/__\__ \__\_ \__\_ \_ _/__\ _/__ | | | | / \_ / _ /_ / / / / /\____ / - H E L L O - | | | | \___ / / / __/ ___/ / / / | | | | | /__/__/____/__/ \__/ /__/__________/___________________| |__| | | | | | | 13 1way aeroholics agw bass bcc berc bnp boss ct cmc | | | | d2h ddb diss divinestylers dl dps ethnic fmr fnt fwyh | | | | hit2000 hm hqem hta hushhush i8 impg jazzman kinky kw | | | | maem mbs njs noir nuc nuhs radial sb sever shelter | | | | pyt siberia soup sour sq tr trt usr | | | | | | | | ... thank you for the music and/or the good fun! | | | |_________________________________________________________| |_. | | nfo & design by #MONk!# of diViNE sTYLERS! | | | | _ |---------------------------------------------------------| _ |-' |/ \| |/ \|
