Alone, Alone

This is no cliched soundtrack without a film, but is a sound track that stands alone. Divided into three programs - Before After, Alone Alone, and No Wake - the album's standout cuts include No Prior Conviction, a bold Morriconian lament that would surely make Clint cry; the title track's tremolo-tumbling ur-chords and silky Loren Mazzacane-isms dissolving into SY-style rumblings; Float, a delicate chiming lullaby sliced by fiddle cascading over metallic dronage; and Come, with its gamelan goofin', reminiscent of Oval, underlaying more serpentine leads and some subtle slide.
