***The masters of contemporary ritualistic black ambience return with the first part of their "Wound" duology, two separate releases linked sonically, visually and spiritually, together forming the group’s most focused and fully realized work to date. The two releases together will offer up a sprawling, audial exploration of wounds at once physical and spiritual, social and societal, natural and environmental. Sonically, A Wound Of Body is a beautifully stark soundscape, dolorously dense, suffocatingly oppressive and utterly claustrophobic. An immersive black hole of bleak, cavernous dronemusic and disquieting, desolate ambience, each track a hushed and harrowing ritual; the surface minimalism underpinned by a churning morass of sound, a layered liturgy of blackened invocations and nebulous strings hovering in the shadows. Black vinyl housed in a duotone printed silver/black jacket with black flood inside, printed inner sleeve and download card.

***Now expanded to a four piece, COMMON EIDER, KING EIDER have crafted yet another blast of high end wind chill that whips through the empty spaces in your skull. More stories of flora & fauna that hang beautifully in dynamic rooms of piano, strings, voices and stargazing guitar explosions born of layer after layer of feedback. This ghost world is all gray and black, with a high condensation of loss penetrating throughout. Moonlight occasionally lights the path, but for the most part prepare to be lost in the woods. LIZ HARRIS (GROUPER) and TOM CARTER (CHARALAMBIDES) Liz Harris (Grouper) on the tracks 'Ennui' and 'Earth Liver' add to the overall sense of dread. Edition of 300 records with silkscreen covers done by the band.
