Description: | Faint by Taylor Deupree, released 27 November 2012, includes the following tracks: "Thaw", "Sundown" and more.
This version of Faint comes as a 1xCD. - Cresting the hill the sound of running water carries me back into the trees once more. I'm enticed by glistening droplets of near-frozen dew on the fallen logs that conceal the singing insects residing on the woodland floor. I pull tightly on my bedclothes as warm harmonic tones ease across my frost-kissed ears until broken twigs underfoot break my state of slumber. Back now, my pillow is familiar and warm. The tiny fraction of time between waking and sleep, with no distinct perception of reality is a moment to be held and absorbed for as long as possible. It is the ontologically fleeting moment of the present, as our heavy eyelids close and our pulse slows, that is the inspiration inside the music of Faint, the new album on 12k by Taylor Deupree.Faint is being released in two different editions. The Standard Edition (this listing) comes packaged in 12k?s new uncoated board jacket design in an edition of 1000 with the main, 51-minute, Faint album. The Deluxe Edition comes in a boxed set containing 12 photographs Deupree took with a plastic, hand-built 35mm camera, the Faint CD and a bonus CD containing ?Thaw (Reprise),? an extended 38-minute version of ?Thaw? which will only be available on this CD (not sold digitally).
