What we say about The Hollow Mountain, by Twinsistermoon

This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

Twinsistermoon is Mehdi from Natural Snow Buildings, the male counterpart of this beloved French folk/drone duo who's gentle, otherworldly voice often has him confused with a little pixie lady that lives in some spectral forest glade with a battalion of fiercely protective woodland animals. His hugely limited 'Hollow Mountain' LP from earlier this year (only 105 made!) gets the full (1000) release on CD - that it richly deserves - through Sheffield's beard-tastic Blackest Rainbow. This recording errs more towards tender, cracked & psychedelic pagan folk entwined with earthy samples/field recordings than any neo-drone or tonal affair, most probably the stuff folk who are into this mystical Gallic couple are most enamored with anyway. I cannot possibly do this album much justice in words, the sweet, woozy tracks are delicate, quietly meandering & personal affairs that demand your absolute full attention, the lo-fi recording technique used here gives the music such a rich & rustic personality i'm not surprised at the ever growing cult of fanatics their music, whether solo or under the NSB banner, attracts. Comes with cracking 8" Sq. art booklet by Solange who casually chucks in some cello work on a track too! Plus there's a 40 minute unreleased bonus track!!

What the label says about The Hollow Mountain, by Twinsistermoon:

Twinsistermoon is the solo project of Mehdi Ameziane of Natural Snow Buildings, The Hollow Mountain was originally issued by Dull Knife Records in 2009 as an LP limited to only 105 copies, unsurprisingly it sold out in a matter of hours. Widely regarded by many Natural Snow Buildings fans as one of the best releases from their camp, this reissue has been remastered by Ben Nash, includes new artwork, and brand new unreleased material. The album has a beautiful earthy lo-fi feeling throughout which perfectly compliments its short and sweet folk songs, and occasional wanderings into psychedelic drone ambience. This is an album that really is totally beautiful and probably one of my favorites from Mehdi. The CD is packaged in a square artwork booklet and a pro-printed card wallet showcasing the superb original artwork from the LP sleeve. Limited to 1000 copies.
