“It saddens me to know that the predominantly commercial music purveyors of today give such scan consideration to the enrichment of your gentle spirit. Perhaps they have forgotten where it dwells.”
This past Friday, June 2 marked what would have been the 100th birthday of Ernest Hood. Here’s to the joy in reminiscence that his music continues to bring to this day and to new listeners everywhere.
Sharing their moribund vision with Bobby Krlic, aka The Haxan Cloak, the tried and true sound of The Body is mutilated by process and re-animated in a spectral state I Shall Die Here. Revisited a year short of its tenth anniversary, the album is expanded to include the previously unreleased Earth Triumphant, a full-length companion that would become I Shall Die Here under Krlic’s scalpel, showcasing The Body’s brutality in its most primal form.
Landing somewhere between Gram Parsons and a Guy Called Gerald, Dylan Moon’s “Absolute” is the next sign of (after)life from Song & Dance, a new four song EP arriving Friday, June 16.
On “Absolute,” Moon’s circle expands to include the talents of Pao Yumol, aka Goose Pimple, on guitar, Milo Talwani on organ, and Hannah Rainey on vocals. Moon and Rainey trade vocal lines and melodies draped across lyrics depicting an anthropogenic turn for the better. At least from the vantage of two beings online and in love.
