Startling Moniker: For electronics and birds

Part organic ambient excursion, and part country lullaby, this album (of which I have an advance, and most likely incomplete, copy) has really grown on me since the first time I heard it. Utilising electronic instruments, “sound objects,” harmonium, and vocals; Grundik & Slava have really created some beautiful music of startling complexity. Sometimes, it seems innocent and pleasant as I listen to it, other times, rather menacing. While it’s somewhat close to things I’ve heard before, it’s never “quite there”– so I think any comparisons would do it injustice. This is superbly-crafted music. I’m really at a lack for words, I want to tell you this is experimental country music, if there is such a thing. Definitely an album for the repeated listening pile.
