Monday's Long Song

Today's long song comes from the mysterious Anatomy Of The Head, an EP that was revealed in a dream in the winter of 2021 and then recorded in Germany by a three piece group who live in Kiribati, possibly (Kiribati is an island in the central Pacific Ocean). The EP, one long twenty nine minute piece made up of eight shorter movements and titled Unholy Spirits Light Divine is a ghostly invocation, the sound of a string movement playing in the wind recorded onto a hand held microphone in the dark. It is long and hypnotic, anxiety inducing in places, freaked out ambient/ neo- classical/ sonic disturbance. It's an enthralling listen, one which could be experienced differently in different circumstances. Your Monday morning commute may not be the ideal circumstances but then again, you never know. 

You can buy Unholy Spirits Light Divine at Bandcamp where the group- Michael van Gore, Heidenreich and Mr Fishman who play respectively strings of blood, mutilation and dismemberment- have provided more detail and background about the EP and the long song itself, The Tomb Of Kitlab Al- Roh.

Desolate, unsettling stuff, yet at the same time completely engaging. It's somewhat reminiscent of Basinski's 'Disintegration Loops' to these ears. In other news, I'll be sleeping with the light on tonight.
