Altered Zones

Speaking of his solo project TwinSisterMoon, Natural Snow Buildings' Mehdi Ameziane admits that his songs are "captured on a one take/good take basis; almost unfinished in a sense, like a sketch." "Trailer," a track from his recently reissued Then Fell The Ashes... album, feels more like a wholly vivid snapshot of an incomplete memory-- one of being rocked to sleep with a lullaby cassette in the tape decks, for instance, or simply of a time when your soul felt 100% insulated from even the slightest twinge of existential doubt. Next to the album's mile-long vistas of gristled ambience, this half-hummed folk tune is about as spine-tingling as the sound of a music box at the beginning of a horror film-- and as comforting as a lost tape of Vashti Bunyan on a lo-fi tip. --Emilie Friedlander, Visitation Rites
