Persian Carpets (Vinyl) - By:Daniel O'sullivan & Richard Youngs - Model Number: VHF169LP

Description

Second LP of duets by these longtime VHF family staples, here delivering 2 side-long epics of minimalist bliss. Both sides feature Daniel on piano and Richard on zither, with rippling waves of sound recalling classics like Charlemagne Palestine™s Strumming Music (Dan is a frequent collaborator with C.P.) and Richard™s Advent.

Persian Carpets I is a real-humans performance full of tiny variants in rhythm and attack, rising and falling in intensity “ sometimes a rush of sound, sometimes a cloud of soft overtones and phantom notes. Persian Carpets II is more spare, with quiet and careful piano alongside Richard™s subdued accompaniment “ a gorgeous bath of pointillist sound that rewards close listening.

A glorious balm for dark and weird times. Superb, quiet pressing by Smashed in Chicago.
