Daddy Gangloff says:
Installment in the two-part opening salvo (along with the "Black Earth Hymns" cassette) from the new Wisconsin-based Spiral Joy lineup. Washes of reeds -- duo harmoniums, an oboe -- turn layer after layer of rich and fertile dirt, preparing it for the seeds to come. Features a couple debuts -- first Spiral Joy release to feature Emily's playing, and Patrick's first outing on fiddle. The third of the cdr's three tracks warrants special mention ------- a 41-minute excursion into harmonium over- and undertones that may go farther and deeper than anything the collective's yet issued in this area.
