MP3: Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words - In perfect and imperfect circles
The drone of Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words is a lofi rumble compared to the earth-shaking throb of The Idealist (as discussed here). I don't say that to disparage DLSODW, rather to distinguish them. Also, whereas I remarked that The Idealist is well-suited for loud listening, DLSODW is quieter and more creepy, more dungeon-like if you will. Employing minimal synths buried with twisted field recordings and other found-sounds, the sound of Dead Letters is dismay and dreary - perfectly suited for dark winter evenings. The particular piece I've posted today from the new album "Old ghosts, new ghosts, all ghosts" swells and reels along with a distinct slow melody before finally collapsing into total static at the very end. Considering the miserable weather we've been having 'round these parts recently, this hits the spot.
