Taiga Remains "Crushed Radiant Deities" 

Audio Clip


Luminescent, wrecked shards of overtone drones merged with zoned
 and disembodied choral whispers and ribbons of pure white electricity.
 "Crushed Radiant Deities" is the first widely available Taiga Remains
 release, bundling remastered versions of the two tracks from the long 
out-of-print "Paper Lanterns" EP with two new longform works to form 
a dense, polyphonic fugue of dynamic collisions and endless collapses.

Praise for other Taiga Remains releases:


"... it's not some kind of yogic transcendental meditation, concentrating on one's 
  inner being with one's legs wrapped around the back of one's ass; it's more 
  along the lines of Popol Vuh being tortured in slow motion on some medieval 
  device which has been contact-mic'd and run through a 20,000 watt PA... It's 
  the thundering roaring of the stream of the protons emanating from the origin 
  of the universe in its slow, deep, melancholic shuffle; expanding to fill all 
  available space, and then collapsing in on itself again as it rounds final turn 
  and into the home-stretch back towards the beginning of time. It's scored for 
  acoustic guitar, voice and computer. It's the perfect intersection of drone 
  and "harsh-noise." And it's really, really beautiful." 
  - Stephen Clover (Foxy Digitalis)


"Think of it as the difference between early Birchville Cat Motel and recent Robert 
  Horton headtrips or My Cat Is an Alien careening through an asteroid belt thrown 
  down by Hototogisu. Or possibly even Otomo Yoshihide’s jittery spastic energy
 tempered by Philip Jeck’s patient sonic washes." -Steve Rybicki (Fake Jazz)


"...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." - David Keenan (Volcanic Tongue)


"... a myriad of buzzing guitar sounds and oscillating fragments from melodium and 
  chord organ that are glued together to an entity that moves from corner to corner 
  of the room or just resonates in the air as if held there by invisible wires." 
  - Mats Gustafson (Broken Face)
