Quiet, Constant Friends is officially out, so we’d better reveal the final few tracks. Wes Tirey is another long-term favourite of ours (as a browse of his ‘tag’ will inform you). ‘Akhnilo Blues’ is taken from his release Journeyer/Forward, Melancholy Dream, which we wrote about back in March, thoroughly enjoying the stark, evocative Western feel:
“The tape is packed with so many vivid images that the bigger picture becomes indistinct, like the recollections of a man so old and tired that the border between reality and fantasy has become porous”
The track draws inspiration from two works of literature: The title is taken from the James Salter story ‘Akhnilo’ and the falcon/falconer imagery was plucked out of Yeats’ ‘The Second Coming’.
The artwork for this one is by Erika.
You can buy Quiet, Constant Friends now the Wake The Deaf Bandcamp page. All tapes come with super-limited edition postcard art prints, and all profits will go to Worldreader.
