I honestly have no idea how to read this review from Vital Weekly...
CHARTREUSE NO MORE PATHS TO SOUNDER SLEEP (Cassette by Thor's Rubber Hammer Productions) Chartreuse.. "We can't wait. No More Paths will come out on a real-deal CD this summer, but so many people have e-mailed that TRHP's gonna go ahead and offer 15 of the 50 copies that Drew Smith (Chartreuse) himself dubbed onto cassette. (Note: This is the unmastered version, but there's a great gritty and muddled quality that makes it distinct from the final product.) Organ drones seep through the earth as if heard by a tape recorder buried underground." This is indeed very muddy and a kind of looping drone- and guitar riffs- on the cassette box is some illegible text, are we meant to read it, are we meant to play what is inside. It seems there is some urgency that we should, more evangelical hand clapping, more eschatological hand waving that tidied up could do well in wine bars or sell insurance. And before you think I'm being harsh, I like wine bars and carry insurance. What is happening is the mirroring in the alternative of the image now not reversed - were the pigs wrong at the end of animal farm and was the fall of communism a good or bad thing. And now today you answer by googling - We pursue excellence and happiness - even I have paid over 5 UK pounds in a Crowne Plaza bar for some peanuts. and the means to do this is almost free.
hey drew it was good to see you for a bit at the wedding. "Summit View from North" is my favorite and reminds me of Hans Zimmer's "The Ascent" from the K2 soundtrack. Steph liked "Smolder" and said it reminded her of the Jellyfish exhibit at Tennessee's Aquarium. Nice job.
