    Sore Eros

    Taal Compass / Wide Open

    Last years' "Second Chants" was one of the best, this year's "Know Touching" album (due in August on SHDWPLY) will confirm Sore Eros as one of the best new US artists around right now.

    Both "Taal Compass" and B-side "Wide Open" (which features space age post-punk hero Gary War on synths) are slow burners that reveal an understated majesty, but their style and execution suggest wildly different mindsets. The title track is plaintive, with songwriter and lead man Robert Robinson's vocals emerging organically from the analog distortion that coats the song. Flip the record over for an atmospheric epic that builds gracefully to an overwhelming crescendo that certainly earns the name "Wide Open".

    STAFF COMMENTS

    Darryl says: Two more hits of beautifully hazy and cosmic indie-folk. A very limited 7".

    TRACK LISTING

    Side A:
    Taal Compass

    Side B:
    Wide Open

    Woah, this is very special, a cosmic hazy indie-folk gem from the mind of Boston's Robert Robinson, who is the principle song writer of Sore Eros, and has been an occasional player with Ariel Pink. "Second Chants" is an album of soulful dream folk from a field in Conneticut, conveying hazy hopefulness reverbed with gleeful experimentation from start to finish, bringing to mind the gentle introverted power of Bon Iver and the experimental-psychedelic leanings of Panda Bear. This debut full length LP is described by Robert as being 'influenced more by the changing of the leaves in the autumn and the snow in the winter, rather then the palm trees of Los Angeles' - a quality which speaks volumes for itself. Luscious textures fall softly to a forest floor, damp leaves crackle and hiss beneath your feet. A true gem, this could be one of the best things to emerge in 09, it's simply stunning!
