about

Upon the opening of this cassette we are greeted by the familiar fresh air of Timothy Renner's unique finger-picking style, and lulled into mystical contemplation by his deep baritone voice. Layer after layer of devotional hymns push us further into the heart of the sacred grove that is Renner's own personal divine reality. Each song on this gorgeous album flows together like one long suite. Sparse and steady as ever, decorated in masterfully understated string work and inspired male and female vocal harmony; Stone Breath have conquered yet another peak in a rambling catalog of already staggering heights. A mere hint at the austere majesty of their upcoming LP on Brave Mysteries, this cassette is a stirring display of the continuous maturation and deepening that Renner and his kin have become known for. To anyone who does not yet know Stone Breath, there is no better way to describe them than to quote directly from their own biography: "Wood, skin, bone, bronze, steel, gut. These are the materials of acoustic instruments. Materials of the earth. Stone Breath wanted to make earth music. Timeless music. Music that could be made without electricity. Music that could be played in field or forest (or even in lonely graveyards as was the case in the early days of the band). Stone Breath have held true to this vision over 9 albums, several EPs, various compilation appearances, and almost 20 years." We are so honored to present "Twist of Thorn", especially as we bid farewell to the final days of Winter, growing intoxicated by the opening gestures of the next coming season. These songs were created as a celebration of nature in the mode of death, just as it is before the rebirth of Spring. Keep an ear out for Stone Breath's "Spear of Flame, Horse of Air" LP, coming this Summer on Brave Mysteries.

Two original songs and their remixes. This is what good 80s and 90s synth-pop music would sound like if it were made with modern synths and clean, tasteful production. Remixes are another genre, but they sound good as well. John Gaunt
