The Nether Dawn - "Long Shadow of a Dream"

Audio Clip


The Nether Dawn is arguably the most narcotic, most ethereal
of the many guises of the ever-prolific and talented Antony Milton.
For the unfamiliar few, Milton runs the sainted Pseudoarcana
label out of his native New Zealand and records as Myrtu!, A.M.,
Paintings of Windows, Clay Man in the Well, Swagger Jack and
as a member of Claypipe, With Throats as Fine as Needles,
The Stumps, Glory Fckn Sun and more. Running through all of
his projects is something of a dreamlike, nostalgic delirium
that is concretized and distilled on "Long Shadow of a Dream."

The recordings on "Long Shadow of a Dream" date from 2004-2006.
Despite this temporal span they seem like they've emerged organically
from the same eternal, humming tapestry of sound. The album's final
 track is, unquestionably, its apex and it contains what are perhaps the
 most soul-baring, cathartic moments which Milton has committed to
 tape. Here, Antony's vision becomes nearly visible in its mammoth
 totality - howling whisps of feedback, billows of keyboard and loops 
conjoin with voice and throat in ecstatic communion. The aural landscape
of Milton's Nether Dawn will utterly entrance and beguile you
 and, in the end, it will surely devour you whole.
