LOST IN A SEA OF SOUND:
«Existing outside our perceived reality, some fantastic compositions can only be heard when dimensions are in phase. For this release, Somnoroase Păsărele has connected alternate realities and allowed listeners to experience 'DƎMO'. Slight fluctuations and fuzziness have disappeared, leaving a majestic crystalline structure. This could be described as a clear and direct conduit into what some might call the ethereal plane.
Two side-long tracks creating one forty-minute composition. Taking the listener into the accelerated world of drone. Haunting tones, like pipe organ played with infinite energy, creating a shimmering veil of sonic translucence. Massive in scope and size, engulfing all consciousnesses in a deep wake. Only minute changes, as this breathing locust swarm moves across the aural landscape. On 'DƎMO', Somnoroase Păsărele has mutated the construct of earlier releases. This is classic ambient haze, sophistication in white noise.»
PSI LAB:
«Intense stuff, indeed – forty minutes of utterly engrossing suspenseful soundscapes, a one-way ticket to the spine-tingling far sides of fear and uncertainty at the immersed intersection of obsession, paranoia and reality, like a score for some (para?)psychological thriller shelved because it took over, made the visual aspect merely an afterthought, and moreover shattered some subconsciously reinforced hyperrealistic facade that made it too real, not just for the movie but for perceived reality – well I'm not sure I buy into all that hooplah, but music like this sure makes me ponder it, and since I still have movies playing in my mind, what I hear is kinda like the ever-deepening and distorting plot of REAR WINDOW somehow simultaneously infused with the complete blackout of 2001 - LIGETI, not STRAUSS.
For hyperbole, it's kinda like if CHARLEMAGNE PALESTINE aggressively yet gracefully channeled his cathedral drone into glorious micropolyphonic orchestration with flecks of gray noise pillow top textural manipulation and singing bowl spiritualism – it is the cosmic chaos from which STARS OF THE LID were born, the shapeless nightmare lurking in the recesses of TIM HECKER's dynamic expressionism – not for the faint of heart, but for those who embrace it, close listening will be immensely rewarded.»
