Your Empire, In Decline
豆瓣
简介
The Long Story Recording Company is the successor to the Twice Removed label, with a renewed focus on established artist album releases and a consistent design ethos of “less is more”.
Dusky electro-acoustic minimalists Hessien christen the roster in their first album release since 2010’s ‘Home Is Where The Ghost Is’. The diverse collection of tracks find the duo of Tim Martin (Maps and Diagrams, Black Elk, Atlantis) and Charles Sage (y0t0, The Rothko Chapel) pushing their trademark sound even further out, incorporating wall-of-sound dalliances in electronic textures, repeated motifs and cavernous off-kilter rhythms. Completists will be also happy to note that some rare compilation and unreleased tracks have been included in a single cohesive dialogue for the first time. Mastered with cerebral force by Mark Kuykendall, the album showcases every facet of Hessien’s distinctive sound with heft and depth. ‘Your Empire, In Decline’ is released as digital download and a limited digipack CD on January 15, 2015.
