Description

Second volume in a trilogy exploring the teenage tape experimentation of Warren Defever aka His Name Is Alive.

Echo-drenched guitar instrumentals, field recordings and gorgeous ambient tones pulsate through the analogue murk, also taking in dalliances with greyscale industrial drone, musique concrète and even a burst of 4-track noise pop reminiscent of the early work of The Jesus And Mary Chain.

Inner sleeve essay and interview once again by Mike McGonigal, the man behind Third Mans recently launched Maggot Brain magazine and the author of books on My Bloody Valentine and Galaxie 500.

Praise for His Name Is Alives All The Mirrors In The House: Home Recordings Volume 1:

These lo-fi, smudged worlds of sound, bled to cassette in Defevers bedroom, feel remarkably prescient. His minatures have a particularly blissed-out, sunkissed resonance, and a psalmic simplicity thats as evocative as it is peaceable. Uncut

Sounds as good as any ambient release youve heard in the last five years The Quietus
