BIRDS OF TIN:ENE .key ray. | MANIFOLD | 15.01.02

Birds Of Tin collaborate with Scott Hudgins, aka ENE,
to create a sublime disc of strict light ambience.
Electronic ambience here will not mean keyboards or synth however,
nor does it mean "techno".
It means that the sound is airy, clean and spacious.
Expressive and rendered with the precision of one who would arrange beats.
But there's no percussion, it's a sustained drift and beautiful emotion that weaves its way through all the tracks.
Each track with it's own feeling, history and structure.
The only way to soak up every second of Key Ray is to either lay back, close the eyes and move straight into it for an hour, or to listen to it over and over.
You'll want to do the latter, as this is light, beautiful, mysterious
ambient worthy of Tear Ceremony, Zero Ohms or Robert Rich.
Great stuff.
On the new Mystery Sea label, who I hope we can see more great releases like this from in the future.
