about Crow Tongue:
Crow Tongue began after tiMOTHy recorded the particularly apocalyptic album, "Hoofbeat, Caw, and Thunder" which found him singing about huge gatherings of crows he took for harbingers of the End Times. Having previously made music with the acid-experimental-folk band Stone Breath, tiMOTHy was seeking something new. Not a break from what he did before, but something that encompassed more of his influences (which range from Middle Eastern music to reggae to Doom), and represented a sound he has been hearing in his head for many years. The key to this was rhythms. At first he experimented with various drum machines and sampled beats, but the final vision became clear with the addition of Æ Hoskin on drums (both kit and hand-drums). Crow Tongue's live sound has been called everything from "a more tribal Neurosis" to "Appalachian doom." The band itself has no name for it - they worship the groove and the low end centered around Hoskin's rhythms and tiMOTHy's own homemade invention, the guimbri-banjo (a bass-like banjo made to be a more stage-friendly version of the Moroccan guimbri bass lute, played clawhammer style).

"The Red Hand Mark" CD Hand/Eye h/e036









"The Red Hand Mark" closely mirrors the Crow Tongue live sound. The bones of this sound are guimbri-banjo (a bass banjo based on a Morroccan lute), hand-drums, and vocals. Their live sound has been called everything from "a more tribal Neurosis" to "Appalachian Doom." Crow Tongue worships the groove, plowing out raw and primitive, dark, tribal earth and spirit songs. Featuring tiMOTHy of Stone Breath.

"Prophecies and Secrets: the red hand mark in dub" CDr Hand/Eye h/e037









Crow Tongue has taken their songs from "The Red Hand Mark" and reinterpreted, remixed, and otherwise broken down to their skeletons...all in order to twist, tweak, reimagine, and rebuild them as "Prophecies and Secrets: The Red Hand Mark in Dub." Not a traditional dub album, but using the techniques and experimental spirit of dub to create something new from the source recordings of "The Red Hand Mark." (also includes some bonus material). "Prophecies and Secrets" will be housed in a flat cover that will fit INSIDE the cover of "The Red Hand Mark" - for those who purchase both.

In Stores March 25, 2008. Available today from Dark Holler Arts mailorder!

Crow Tongue's first full length finds them summoning distant howls from the fog of night. Fingerpicked strings and Eastern instruments recall Crow Tongue's musical heritage (the acid-folk of Stone Breath), but here they are layered with primitive homemade instruments, circuit-bent electronics, and mantric drones.



'Ghost Eye Gaze' opens the album. A 5-part drone-raga, improvised to back a shamanic chant, pushing from free-folk to free-noise and back again. 'Seeker' follows in 2 parts with bass dulcimer and tablas leading into an electric swarmandal excursion. The album closes with 'Candle, Corpse, and Bell' where Crow Tongue shows their dub influence with guimbri and tabla-machine slowly spinning through the echochamber.
