The band is Lumen, and the full title of the album is "The Man Felt An
Iron Hand Grasp Him By The Hair, At The Nape. Not One Hand, A Hundred
Hands Seized Him, Each By The Hair, And Tore Him Head To Foot, The Way
You Tear Up A Sheet Of Paper, Into Hundreds Of Little Pieces."
No,
really. The tracks are named simply by roman numerals. Instrumental
math-folk at its very best. III is a highlight. A once off project released via Temporary Residence Records.
This San Francisco band featuring members of A Minor Forest and
Tarentel crafts hard-to-categorize instrumental stuff. One part exotic
film score, one part poignant circus music, one part cerebral guitar
experimentalism, one part powerful prog-derived rhythms, all woven into a
heady, otherworldly whole.
clean and joyful. really pleasant stuff in the best way
