SORE EROS - Taal Compass

Sore Eros Taal Compass single is more than just a quick pit stop between last years Second Chants (Shdwply Records) and the upcoming Know Touching LP. Both -¢??Taal Compass-¢?¬ù and b-side -¢??Wide Open,-¢?¬ù which features space age post-punk hero Gary War on synths, are slow burners that reveal an understated majesty, but their style and execution suggest wildly different mindsets. The title track is plaintive, with songwriter and lead man Robert Robinsons vocals emerging organically from the analog distortion that coats the song. Flip the record over for an atmospheric epic that builds gracefully to an overwhelming crescendo that certainly earns the name -¢??Wide Open.-¢?¬ù In an edition of 500. - Blackburn.
