Featuring the haunted guitar meanderings and ambient excursions unearthed in his previous incantation 'Ghost Riding', Paul Gallagher builds on that sturdy and fascinating foundation with a resolve brought about by a conviction in his craft, and a handy knack for alluring production values.
'Saloah' brings bright string plucks and scattered static, gradually moving from haunting ambience into scattered population before growing into the bustling musical thoroughfare it culminates into. 'All the horses' brings things back gain into haunting territory with infrequent, panned bell chimes helping to move things from the staggering acoustic interplay of the first section into an almost melodic carrier / melody refrain.
Move a little further along, and the 'Refiner' duo each play a part in the building of a musical monolith, with the scratching and staggering field recordings being interspersed with auphoric chimes tucked away far enough in the background to be felt rather than heard.
Once again, a brilliantly constructed and meticulously balanced suite of personable ambience, and storytelling field recorded drones.
