FOREST SWORDS - Dagger Paths
Wirrals Forest Swords make a textured, gauzy music as indebted to the Liverpool regions rich musical heritage as it is to the bleak-yet-beautiful coastal environment from which it was born. The result is something completely organic, sounding like a dancehall mix of Mogwais more luscious soundscapes, Burials sample-strewn claustrophobia, and Ennio Morricones spaghetti western scores. The records sweaty and thunderous dub grooves and cavernous guitar licks rub shoulders with RnB shuffles, dread-soaked percussion, and heady drones to create a visceral and epic sound. Dagger Paths" consists of specially remastered versions of songs from the out-of-print cassette singles Miarches and Glory Gongs, along with brand new tracks. Full color pro-printed covers and insert - also includes a download coupon for the mp3 version." - OESB.
