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’.
