its five tracks divided in three and two, reveurs takes three and sunken takes two,
there is nothing good i can say about the way this split opens,
the first track hurts to listen to,
the only way to explain it is if you ever had a room mate
who was always playing Metallica riffs badly on his ibanez,
well run him and the whole room through a reverb pedal and you have reveurs,
i wont go into the rest of reveurs side of the split
cause im not interested in hating on them/him/her????
but i have nothing constructive to say about it either,
sunken landscapes on the other hand saves the release
with his two tracks lake of bones and smoke signals,
i love pretty much everything sunken landscapes touches,
sunken landscapes is Andy summers from long beach California,
lake of bones begins with haunting pre neck
guitar harmonics and a quiet layer of ambient delay,
it later introduces a guitar loop that makes
the guitar sound more like a computer or a keyboard,
with its fast ending and quick in succession notes,
its beautiful and well rounded,
the perfect mix of guitar tones
and scratchy tape or pedal malfunctions,
smoke signals
is a noisy barrage of plane engine static
with a continuing guitar loop reminiscent
of the progression from lake of bones,
it also features a voice looping behind the noise
its hard to make out but it sounds like some kind of speech,
i strongly suggest getting your hands on any releases Andy has available,
he releases shit almost exclusively with Nihil underground,
and all his shit is dope!
the art included with this release
is the normal Nihil one fold xerox,
its simple but works,
