Crow Tongue’s first full length finds them summoning distant howls from the fog of night. Fingerpicked strings & Eastern instruments recall CT’s musical heritage (the acid-folk of Stone Breath), but here they are layered with primitive homemade instruments, circuit-bent electronics & mantric drones. ‚Ghost Eye Gaze‘ opens the album with a 5-part drone-raga, improvised to back a shamanic chant, pushing from free-folk to free-noise & back again. ‚Seeker‘ follows in 2 parts with bass dulcimer & tablas leading into an electric swarmandal excursion. The album closes with ‚Candle, Corpse, and Bell‘ where Crow Tongue shows their dub influence with guimbri & tabla-machine slowly spinning through the echochamber.
