In 8 Movements by Black Swan

4...according to our on Thu 20 Jan, 2011.

I dunno about this 'cos it's only been on thirty seconds but I'm looking forward to the film which this has nothing to do with. I mean it's not like I have an unconditional love for Darrenarrenarrenofsky or anything but it doesn't sound like he's fucking about with that one. OK, I'm starting to see what's going on here.. Total eerie, ghostly, shivers down the backiness. I guess it falls broadly into the field of ambient drone but there's FAR more going on here than pretty much any of the stuff that generally waddles into the category. It's like listening to a Stone Tape playback of an orchestra slowly turning phantom or something. Molasses thick with atmosphere and intrigue.. Winner.

Marking a clandestine arrival out of, seemingly, nowhere, Black Swan emerges from the shadowy billows of smoke to immerse listeners in a lucid, cavernous dream, tracing silhouettes in the darkness with drowning ambience and orchestrated drones that screech and howl intermittently amongst the disorienting magnetic tape disturbances. Black Swan operates under a guise of far-away sounds traveling through murky waters, drowning the listener in its heavy-handed layers of ghostly resonance.
