The Stargazers Assistant Shivers And Voids

I'm pretty sure I heard the first Stargazers Assistant album a little while back but sadly I can't remember a bloody thing about it, I didn't realize it was the fella from Guapo and Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses either. You learn something new every day.. The instruments listed on the inlay include a water bowl, a chain and a matchbox so we're not in Zutons territory here. This is some proper experimental avant-garde shit of the kind I always dread hearing, 90% of this stuff is just aimless bollocks and far better in theory than in practice but Shivers and Voids instantly puts your mind to rest. This is totally involving and gripping, always taking you somewhere. Drone, avant-garde classical and washy psychedelia all blended together to fantastic effect. I reckon I might have myself one of these..
