Walden
is a duo of Jacob Moyer (drums, lyrics, flutes, voice) and ES Festus (bass,
electric, acoustic guitars). MMII-Golden Light broke over the waves starts with
some acoustic guitar and then an intense spacey electric guitar riff kicks in
that is repeated over and over as the bass takes the lead underneath the wall
of sound that has developed. It eventually comes down as the guitar riffs slow
down and the vocal starts and then the music gets very intense and a death-evil
style vocal takes over as the guys almost reach thrash metal intensity and a
layer of flute is added on for strange effect. A Walking Song is mainly
acoustic guitar with a occasional rhythm that sounds like a knock at the door.
Flip the tape over now for the MMXII- Every Star called our Names. This is a
very fast uptempo piece to start and even more low fi than A side. While the
music is pretty happy and melodic, the vocal is quite dark and almost evil but
the lyrics are actually quite positive. Strange combination. The Coda I starts
off with a bass, drums and flute and then the intense spacey riff guitar kicks
in but the flute is still driving the track until it just fades out. Coda II
ends the tape with some nice acoustic guitar playing. A very nice piece of
music. Inside the tape case you get the
lyrics to the two songs that have them.
