Dauphin Elegies by Pelt, released 15 January 2009.
This version of Dauphin Elegies comes as a 1xCD. -
The first new studio recordings from Pelt in three years picks up where 2005's Untitled CD leaves off delivering massive slabs of heavy, all-acoustic drone action. Waning Crescent is an ominous workout for three large gongs, rich with overtones and subsonic rumble. Fire Signs Along the Field offers a slightly jarring quartet of spare string noise, with Nathan Bowles (Black Twigs, Spiral Joy Band) sitting in on double bass. Cast Out to Deep Waters is an immense 30-minute epic in the vein of Empty Bell Ringing in the Sky and Untitled's I that fits into the archetypical classics in the Pelt canon.
