£6.99


Beautiful meditative space sculpted from candy-floss cloud cover by Mr Jon Dale, the Southern hemisphere’s premier source of post-Rock wordage. If you dig the way he strings syllables into personally transparent reportage in The Wire, Dusted, Plan B et al then chances are you’ll find much to relate to here. Dilated guitar/electronic harmonics that vibrate like planets, the kind of illuminated drone work that speaks in the same alien tongues as Coil circa Time Machines/Solstice series or Mirror’s Visiting Star. Beautiful. Comes in a silver foil sleeve w/Dale as Jandek. A whole host of fanboy fantasies fulfilled right there. Cool.
