Rare Amok records vinyl edition front cover
Refreshing the acoustic romantism of Pearls Before Swine, and Leonard Cohen... and setting on music poems of W.B. Yeats and the likes... these Canadian masters of quiet, art-folk melodrama get a position among the sound of rain, the evergreen whispers of fallen leaves and the autumn natural noises.
From the haunted "hopes & fears" to the droning backgrounded auras of "air du temps"... from ingeniously covered "Bang Bang (my baby shot me down)" to holocaustic"Sing or Die" declarations... both albums have plenty of songs equally able to build their chilling echo inside you, for ever.

Fantastic blog. Google has been directing me to these site every time I look for something I haven't heard yet. I wanted to ask if you could post "At Swim Two Birds" by Peter Jefferies and Jono Lonie. I've been looking for it like mad and before I buy it I want to know how this Australian milestone sounds. Thanks a lot.
Great items but the Threshold of Hearing link doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions as to how I can get this download?
Regards, Rob
copy and paste the link (not the password) at the search-window of your screen. The link works ok.
I remember listening to 'Sing or Die' (as a teenager at the time, God knows how I was introduced to it, let alone give it more than a few seconds) and still am haunted by it...
"and the night closes in
like a black velvet hand
it stands to attention
in a soldier's stance"
brought the cassette with me here to Peking but no way to play it...
thanks for sing or die. so so good for these times
