"Nostalgic is too precious a term to describe the whispering crackle of the drones that occupy 'An Ardent Memory,' the latest release by Pittsburgh, PA's Autumn Pool. CR Webb has meticulously crafted waves of static that rise and fall like the crackle of warped vinyl, slowly consumed by synth-like guitar textures worn by years of tape decay. 

The two tracks that occupy this EP are at once soothing enough to seem heartfelt, yet simultaneously are haunted by darker sonic textures that creep right along the surface. "Reservoir" introduces itself like a Steve Reich loop, pulsing and fading until it gives birth to an eerie, sustained chord. Conversely, the centerpiece of the album, "July in Gossamers," lulls the listener into its gentle pallet before erupting in an enormous distorted guitar drone, growing in intensity and violence before coming to a crackling end like a dying fire. "

First Autumn Pool release on Glowing Window Recordings. Thom Wasluck (Planning For Burial) has been become an increasingly close friend and comrade in the passing year and offered to release this piece on his new tape label. I am humbled to have this first attempt at making something more restrained and subdued be presented in the chosen format. "An Ardent Memory" is a piece arranged to represent the decaying imperfection of the memory; pieces peak through a general haze and present themselves amicably, but the memory is impure and selective. The most perfect moments in our lives are modulated and rot in the reservoirs of our mind, being pulled forward from time to time for comfort or stimulation. I sought out to create something blissful and dense, but ultimately grainy and failing. 

You can purchase the tape here (and I strongly recommend Ruined's tape as well) http://planningforburial.bigcartel.com/category/glowing-window-recordings

Thank you beyond words for endorsing this selfish endeavor.

These are home songs, songs about returning, songs about not quite knowing what it means to return. They long for home with the ache of a child, and they dissect that longing with a surgeon’s precision. They also signal the end of the organic singer/songwriter mode that he never loved but seemed to be mired in anyway, with delay and distortion binding layers of drum machine and synth together. Guitar comes in as a sweet reminder of where he started, but stays sparse. Blanco continues to ask questions, but they are the questions of a man who has found contentment within them. Who has somehow, against odds, made a home in them.

Known for his work fronting the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, David Bazan’s emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice have more in common with J.D. Salinger’s “Nine Stories” or Flannery O’Connor’s “Wise Blood” than with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into magnetic, well-crafted songs.

His debut solo full-length album, Curse Your Branches (out now on Barsuk), is a masterwork by a modern American poet at the height of his powers. Paste Magazine called him one of the “100 Best Living Songwriters”. This record is the deepest and most explicit exploration of his struggles with faith and a meditation on all things passed between the generations.
