CP-21 – Clew Of Theseus / Buckettovsissors Split C-40
This split release is perfect for a cold Winter. Cover images were shot after several feet of snow fell in Flagstaff last Winter, and this release comes as record lows have been recorded day after day. Last Winter, roofs collapsed across the town under the weight of the snow, and this year, water mains are bursting under the pressure of frozen waters.
Clew Of Theseus starts off this split with a track ("Eve I") that will remind listeners of some of the eerie droning tracks on "Oran." Things shift significantly in "Eve II" when the track shifts from electronic buzzes and guitar drones to bowed screeches then give way to a field recording of a storm.
Buckettovsissors of Germany produces two masterful tracks of synth-based drone that will conjure impressions of a more minimalist version of early M.B. A close listening to these tracks that superficially sound static will reveal the multiple shifting dimensions in the tracks.
Whether the climates shift from smokestacks or nuclear winter, these times are cold.
