This review is a 'sorry' for the previous Poostosh review where I just laughed at the name a bit. Herbarium is their new one on Untime and it's also a highly enjoyable beast, chucking ambient bits, neo-classical bits, softly psychedelic bits, gently picked guitars and the odd laid-back beat into a big pot and stamping on them playfully until they form something that's quite akin to one of Air's soundtracks, or occasionally Pink Floyd at their most drifty. I can well imagine people snuggling up to this CD on lonely evenings.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

«Herbarium» is called so because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here, only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river, contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so on.
All compositions are united by Poostosh sense of music – thoughtful, spatial, tender and experimental. There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
