Wire Thicket - "Dust, Static"

Audio Clip


In describing the debut Wire Thicket album, released on Pseudoarcana in 2006,
 Antony Milton applied to the duo the term "power-drone." On their second outing,
 the pair have fully embraced this label and taken it to new, delirious peaks. The
 title track is a fifteen minute blast of singing, celestial metal; an impassioned, 
deeply meditative flight into the starry night conjured from guitar, electronics and
 field recordings. Characteristic of the duo's prior work together, the piece is an
 excercise in accretion -- with layers and layers of meticulously detailed sound 
arranged into a furious, beautiful blanket of howling drone. Emerging from
the tonal rubble is a second, shorter piece: a reworking of Taiga Remains' 
"Brilliant Dead Highways" (a piece featured previously on a split 7'' with CJA) -
akin to a delicate, drifting calm at the end of an immense storn.
