Aidan Baker: 'Pendulum' (Gears Of Sand), aka Nadja with his Guitar and F/X pyrotechnics across five cuts. Mostly lush undulating ambience in a warmish kind of mode, fans of Nadja (For it is he without the doom -Ant x) have probably picked up on this and the eight tracker: Also by Aidan Baker is 'Green And Gold' which we're also stocking. A fuller collection that includes the traditional set up of guitars, bass, drums and vocals, also on Gears Of Sand.

What their label says...

The prolific and rising star of atmospheric guitar music glides effortlessly on this his first release on Gears of Sand. Pendulum is a powerful example of Aidan's ability to manipulate guitar loops into fascinating tone poems. The slow building sense of urgency on these 5 wonderous tracks brings to mind the power of Troum but in far more minimalist trajectories--that is to say, one guitar as entry into a crescendoing tunnel of warming caterwaul.

"...The static quickens and pops effortlessly: The sound of sky before nightfall. Or was it a curtain closing? Never far from a new beginning. The ascent of morning splashed in wings and feathers. The layers of bird song is never far from communication. An endless pulse on return. That is to say, an arc just-in-time: Pendulum."
