Black Swan - Black Swan (In 8 Movements)

I may have gotten a little carried away with how good this release is (score wise) but I stand by the review's assertion that this is a really engaging drone record. Read it all on The Silent Ballet, the blog that keeps me blogging.

The anonymity of this New York-based artist has an effect on the listening experience. The music is given the right to exist on its own, as if it had always existed. It stakes its claim in the mind, making the listener a collaborator in a seductive narrative-noire that travels through a hall of horrors and memories, an escort to a final resting place. One might encounter spirit animals, forgotten lovers, faceless apparitions, leviathan rifts, or a cozy blanket of stars. It is easy to become comfortable in the soothing darkness, and when it seems like eternity has arrived, Black Swan pulls the plug. Listen to it here.
