DARK MEADOWS

"The sound of a twilight desert given voice, Wilt's 'Dark Meadows' is a record that aims squarely for the likes of Sunn O))), Earth and Wolf Eyes - with a slew of textured atmospherics crumbled into the noir psychedelics and encroaching sonic dusk. Frayed with an pungent sense of encroaching threat that doesn't feel the need to rely on cheap theatrics, the likes of 'Amerikan Zombie', 'For Blake' and 'Moonchild' posses an almost literary perspective - with squalls of guitar, humming electronics and field recordings all running together to form a coarse yet detailed tableaux. Somber but surprisingly uplifting, the inclusion of tender acoustic guitar on 'Harmonic Convergence' and 'Forever End Credits' lend a definite pin-prick of light to the album that suggests heavy velvet curtains being parted to reveal a pink sunset on the horizon. www.boomkat.com
