Harvestman - In A Dark Tongue

*  Long known for blazing psychedelic guitar trails in the heavy music realm with Neurosis, Steve Von Till once again turns his attention to a world of pure yet abstract psychedelic rock guitar for his Harvestman project.
*  This second outing by Von Till as Harvestman features guest performances by Al Cisneros (OM) and Alex Hall (Grails).
*  Traditional melodies and tunes lay lovingly wrecked and ruined in the wake of rediscovery. While it may be blasphemy to the folk purists, this odd brew is sonic heaven for heads that dream to the drone of fuzz guitar.
*  The album’s surreal sound could best be described as if you’re watching Hawkwind, but you hear Fairport Convention in the distance. And then, Tangerine Dream’s colossal bank of synthesisers begin to mutate the sounds of Pentangle and Steeleye Span while Skullflower, Caspar Brotzman and Loop pass by, attempting to drown them out with massive amplifiers to pay homage to the druidic stones. It is a massive meeting point of styles and influences, all of
which boil down to a very pure and inspired sound.
