motion sickness of time travel / mass ornament

Split

**Edition of 100 copies. Full colour j-card with insert.** Essential and bewitching split release from two ladies who were behind some of last year's most arresting releases: Mass Ornament aka Digitalis co-owner Eden Hemming Rose (Altar Eagle/Wax Ghost), and Hooker Vision curator, Rachel Evans aka Motion Sickness Of Time Travel. Eden's side opens into fluttering 3D ambient space fragranced with murmured poetry and subtle contrasts of crackly concrète texturing in 'Fighting Aluminium Cans'. Next, 'Gift' is more abstracted, foregrounding minimal, sloshing tribal drum cadences against warped and disintegrating field recordings to sound like a dreamed recording of pygmy drummers washed with mild acid. Her third and final contribution is the beautifully languorous 'Lexus Dilemna', where layers of glistening drone gilded with her vocals seem to ascend and expand due the warmth of their own loveliness while rumbling bass pulses pass by fathoms below. On the other side Rachel Evans takes our breath away again after the incredible 'Seeping Through The Veil Of Unconscious'. The feeling of swooning, slow freefall in 'Shadow' is simply exquisite, as though our very atoms are dissolving into her gossamer mattress of synth tones whilst we're gently gyroscoped between stereo swirling constellations. This quietly melts into the blissed sensations of 'Fade Away', a gaseous formation of harmonised synth hues evoking the magical potential of invisibility with a gorgeous New Age naivety. Very warmly recommended!!!
