I think this is the fourth full length LP from the Sheffield based free improv duo and it's as weird and wonderful as ever. Together Kelly Jones and Pascal Nichols conjure up hidden dimensions and exotic darkside rituals with percussion, bells, flute warping ones perception of time. I particularly like the occasional pitched-down vocal sample that adds the extra vibe of being in a lost realm. The primitive effects add electronics multiply the no zone ultra trippy feel but then sometimes the flute is played beautifully and adds a more organic human anchor to proceedings. The duo's sounds at various points can sound almost devotional too. Yet more classy stuff from these underground dwellers. Edition of 530 copies with gorgeous artwork by Darren Adcock adorning the sleeve.
Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides is the duo of Kelly Jones and Pascal Nichols. Proclaiming a context far greater than the sum of their instruments, Low Fired Clay Escape is a remarkable record of visceral beauty, stark decay and translucence. One that inhales the smoke of martyrs and advances towards an unknown vocabulary, depicting barren worlds as lost as they are found.
Limited to 530 copies and housed in the intricate work of Darren Adcock.
