"With raw viola, haunting vocals, and noise guitar, Rob Fisk (Badgerlore, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle, ex-Deerhoof) has created an exquisite album that sounds perfectly at home in the natural world between dusk and dawn. Packaged in a hand-sewn book of drawings by Fisk entitled How to Build a Cabin." - YY.

Root Strata #72

LP
£14.99


Latest broadcast from Rob Fisk’s Common Eider, King Eider sees the group expanded to a four-piece with guest appearances from Liz Harris (Grouper) and Tom Carter (Charalambides) playing austere rural drone that owes as much to Arvo Part as it does to Popol Vuh. Piano, bowed strings and soaring psychedelic guitar combine in dark cinematic madrigals that move in orchestral sweeps to euphoric crescendos before dispersing into clouds of foggy tone. The closing track, featuring both Harris and Carter, revisits the autumnal drone style of Grouper’s Way Their Crept via hazy choral sonics and non-corporeal guitar. An impressive, ambitious set. Comes with a fold-out poster sleeve and a free download.
