Next... SAND SNOWMAN! The Obsessive Creatures CD is limited to 123 copies is very sparse sounding spectral sounding folk. Very minimal yet lovely... strange sounds come in later on which makes this an eerie sounding thing. Almost like the soundtrack to a long forgotten 60's british folk horror film. The wind sounds are particularly scary.... Excellent!!psychical debut from this uk multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, and general mystery man know only as sand. a very intense and detailed cinematic trip that flips on a dime from crisp espers-on-bad-ergot pastoral acoustic acid folk to goblin-style menacing psych groove... or maybe comus covering atom heart mother suite...? acoustic & electric guitars, synths effects galore, electric sitar, bass, percussion, heavy stereo phasing, tuned bells, piano, sparse vocals and the kind of seriously heavy/beautiful vibes that only come when a solo musician is locked alone in the studio for way too long... tri-fold heavy gold art paper covers with sweet & spooky full color paste-on art from sand's painting. hand stamped covers & disc. numbered/limited edition of 123 copies.
