GSGA "Imbolc" reviews
from Jon Solomon's Local Support Podcast 054
Goodnight Stars Goodnight Air submit the second really !@$ing long track of the podcast with the vast existential emptiness of "Imbolc V." This tune is so massive in scope and execution that it would give those fellas in Godspeed! You Black Emperor a boner.
-Nate Adams, Philadelphia City Paper, 2008
Goodnight Stars Goodnight Air break things up nicely with dreamy synth atmospherics that conspire to make soothing sleep tones for your insomnia.

Goodnight Stars, Goodnight Air - "viii"
A flying mass of static begins to ripple and studder as it travels skyward in reverse, the chanting of its worshipers caught in its many folds. The lightning melodies it nurtures flit violently about its great, indecipherable belly, searching for sustenance; growing, then dissolving into one another and falling as rain onto the ice pools of the night-cloaked desert below.
Goodnight Stars, Goodnight Air - "La Feile Brigide"
1st track: gargled bells/ tattered prayer flags/ bronze statues contemplating hillsides of graves/ rain on misty mountaintops/ legacies of potent patina/ there is so much movement in this stillness/ distilled motion/ cupped hands around steaming bowls, to drink/ the steam's sound if it could be heard, curling warm and ethereal/ mysterious/
2st track: vocals unfurl/ the new ceremonials/ shamanic monk/ building on a noise wall of guitar and piano, holy cave paintings on a wall of fluttering cinderblocks about to collapse, dangling piano keys like pulled teeth. whole thing beneath a red sky, the package is simple & beautiful and i have a weakness for things in the small. tiny square of red sky and two lengthy tracks to unravel. pick it UP.
-Hannae Pavlick, Bethlehem Above Ground, 2009
Thanks about the songs. Philly has been great this summer, glad I chose this of all cities right now. We should try to get a show going down here one of these days.

bes47 - A MINORITY OF ONE (usa) "Anahata" c-30 tape | 50ltd | 5€ Cascadia’s veterans Jason Hovatter Craban & Arrowyn Craban explore sounds with 2 side-long new tracks of unstruck music, impressive by a beatufitul and unbreakable strength through serenity near from wisdom. Actually different from this reference but it replaces me in the discovering of “Imperium” album by C93 in its time.
Love it !

The rarity of observations of monks and the extreme difficulty of observing them alive, tracking their movements. They are usually found near continental and island slopes.

An esoteric chapel star chamber, each side displaying the repeated name of the beautiful Pennsilvania and breaking the ice of a cold winter.
