about

PHYSICAL COPIES (Cd-R) AVAILABLE AT arachnidiscs.bandcamp.com/album/meadow-thrum

Meadow Thrum is a murmuring attempt at animating an imagined landscape, and all manner of anthropomorphic entity within. I’ve been thinking of this album as druidic lore-play; it’s some pretty decadent fantasy. Hyper visual and hyper surrealistic, as far as lyrics are concerned. Threading in a lot of ’irreverent’ and intentionally loose percussive and organic sounds among more careful and familiar melodic stuff, which is gently reflective, I think, of the overarching concept and heart of the thing: play between two worlds. Above/below.

Sound: a whole lotta sprawling polyphonic vocal stuff, including a small men’s chorus, droning, and percussion using throat, tongue and breath. Lots of table-tapping, hairbrush-bristles-on-paper, jewelry jangling, and some cutting and pasting of found battle sounds (swords clinking, drop-kicks, etc.) And of course, analog synth (Juno 60) and piano, acoustic string instruments (toy guitars, autoharp), electric bass, and bird song- mostly cardinals, robins and grackles...

about

Eiyn Sof

Not married to any genres. Playing- digging little tunnels into fantasy spaces and the mythic realm- seems to be my instinctive and overarching approach.

All are home recordings, DIY with some collaborations and incredible guests sprinkled in.
