Moon Colored Dogs

"...'Moon Colored Dogs' is a two-part sonic excursion into freezing Siberian
 waters, sunkissed and invigorated. Part one of this journey is a dense and
 methodic drone in the spirit of Birchville Cat  Motel. It is like watching the sun
 first pierce the horizon on a perfect, snowy dawn. Shimmering guitars and subtle
 melodica notes fill the air, keeping you warm on this glacial surface. Cobb
 layers each instrument perfectly, creating something so dense that you can't
 help but be enveloped. It's quite an impressive introduction to the monster that is
 Taiga Remains. As good as the first part is, part two ups the ante. An overwhelming
 sense of melancholy wraps itself around "Moon Colored Dogs (part 2)." The guitars
 here sound like     a swarm of bees making their way across the open expanses of
 the mid-Western United States. Underneath flows a river of organ drones that add
 organic magic to the proceedings. Again, Birchville Cat Motel is a jumping off point,
 but the somewhat abrasive nature to these sounds also remind me of the UK's mighty
 Vibracathedral Orchestra. Either way, this is an excellent and impressive debut 
from what will surely become one of the Rust Belt's finest. Recommended."

"Solo set from Cincinnati Ohio’s Alex Cobb  who runs the Students Of Decay label
 (a ton of good stuff coming up there,     keep yr ears peeled) and records under the
 name of Taiga Remains. This limited 3” (last copies anywhere) is based around 
    standing waves of slow-vibrating overtone-thick drones in the mode of Organum,
 all bisected by rainbows of bleached colour ala Neil Campbell’s solo work or even
 Scorces’ chord organ recordings.Scored for acoustic guitar,  melodica and organ,
 this one just keeps on peaking. This is great." (Volcanic Tongue)
