pants clad boisterous front man of RELIJUN,
its a vary calming and relaxing span of throaty nose rock
made with home made effects and instruments,
this seems like a kind of rough draft,
like an unfinished book, not that it doesn't
stand on its own or entertain, but it comes
off as less of a side project and more of a
meditation or wandering, and in so is more
self important than the including and anarchistic
nature of his other work,
track three features a snare drum being played
simple by the vibrations of the singer,
like a snake tamer enticing and playing with
danger, maybe this is a story as well,
some kind of pied piper tale of an oncoming disaster,
its an undirected tribal opus that plays out like
a silent film with out subtitles,
the whole album feels like sessions and the flow is very
natural, with background noises from the studio and such,
the force and vigor of the horn/throat singing style,
is one to be admired, many vocalist and artist like to
play around with these types of Indian and raga influenced
nose and throat chants, and the actual sound you get,
its hard to diversify with it being a specific sound,
but he some how rises above the trappings of the contrived,
the last track one the album (an 18 minuet meanderthal)
almost sound like a remix,
it features a chorus of night bugs and creatures,
singing softly, and the horn singing is less
in your face and more modulated,
the 10 tracks all feature the same horn/throat singing and
all follow the same themes directly or indirectly,
it is an enjoyable study, and perfectly atmospheric,
not a party album but something worth checking out,
its available now for pre-order and will
be released December 9th,
this is out on the legendary K records,
support em and get your pre-orders in now
the album features some of Arrington's original art,
an abstract expression of the female form,
like a gender version of the scatter brush in photoshop
scattering the simplistic yet capturing woman's form repeating
over the water colored canvas,
