Black Eagle Child / Thoughts on Air
Split c30
Anathema Sound AS27


From Anathema Sound:

This split brings together two guys from the North American continent who work wonders with six strings. Black Eagle Child, Wisconsin’s Michael Jantz, typically opts for the acoustic as his weapon and has played it nimbly and gracefully across a slew of killer releases over the past few years. He kicks up some serious dust on the outset of this split with a barnburner of a jam that unfolds with soulful guitar plucking, hand drum rattling, and recorder whistling over the gritty snarl of oscillators. The two tracks that follow let you down gently with delicately finger picked melodies and sentimental harmonium. Raucous, pensive, and celebratory passages intertwine to keep your spirits in the sky. Thoughts on Air, Ontario’s Scott Johnson (Cloud/Maggot Valley Recordings, Hunting Rituals, etc.), fills the flipside with his unmistakable brand of high altitude, lo-fi psychedelia. Soaring guitar tones and vocal harmonies drift euphoric and care-free through the clouds with no plans to come down anytime soon. It’s the perfect early morning soundtrack, as dew drops refract brilliant rays of sun. He ends the split with an absolutely stunning, ethereal folk tune that will haunt you in the best possible way for a long time to come. With full color artwork, inserts, and labels by M.Y.
