[Release page] Disparate elements of loosely tangled guitar plucks and subtle electrical pulses has Low Bias unveiling The Ash And The Oak in a forest of delicate beauty. Pealing layers of instrumental ambience and heartfelt moods throughout, time moves slowly as each track gradually unfolds its reveals of micro-shoegaze and soundtrack motifs. Though we find Low Bias creatively detailing emotional threads, it’s the overarching sense of space and low-flying minimalism connecting these tranquil landscapes that tilts the scales of gravity-drenched wonder. Quietly maneuvering through miniscule structures, careful displays of bliss and subdued song-writing elevates each of the ten pieces.
As a debut pairing between Mark Beazley (Rothko / Rome Pays Off / Signals) and Graham Dowdall (aka Gagarin), The Ash And The Oak is not only filled with electric pulsars of low and high tones, it also sheds solemn movements from intro to finale.
The Ash And The Oak is out now on Trace. [Release page]
