Details
The first new studio recordings from Pelt in three years picks up where 2005's Untitled CD leaves off-delivering massive slabs of heavy, all-acoustic drone action. "Waning Crescent" is an ominous workout for three large gongs, rich with overtones and subsonic rumble. "Fire Signs Along the Field" offers a slightly jarring quartet of spare string noise, with Nathan Bowles (Black Twigs, Spiral Joy Band) sitting in on double bass. "Cast Out to Deep Waters" is an immense 30-minute epic in the vein of Empty Bell Ringing in the Sky and Untitled's "I" that fits into the archetypical classics in the Pelt canon. The all-too-brief "Crown of Comets" closes the CD with the chiming, overlapping ring of bells recorded in Virginia's Falls Ridge caves. First new studio recordings in three years from long-running Virginia band. Massive slabs of heavy, all-acoustic drone. Features contributions from Nathan Bowles of Black Twig Pickers and Spiral Joy Band
