Auspicious Winds

After 2 LP's of expansive brilliance on Ba Da Bingl, Portland, OR's Yume Bitsu are blissfully immersed in lilting sheets of sound, that hover above all other alien orchestras transmitting in today’s space-drone scene by deftly mining expansive soundscapes & effortlessly merging them w/harmonic space rock. Documents their latest journey thru sonic time holes & hazy alter-universes. Four extended epic compositions & one yearning psyche-pop jewel map out introspective territories, cascading thru subtle nuances of mind, body & soul: a slow unfurling of their elements; floating guitars, flooded synth washes, sparse drum colorings, emotive vocal trajectories. Patiently revealed in alternate atmospheric steps are climactic peaks & periods of dramatic restraint, often at their most intense moments, only to fall back delicately into a pillowed heap. Imagine the depth & complex tension of Mogwai, foggy shimmer of Windy & Carl’s delicate ebb & flow stratospheres, & soundtrack themes of Roy Montgomery & saturate the textures of "Isn’t Anything"-era My Bloody Valentine. Advanced soundsmith skills which mesh expansive ambient horizons with intermittent vocal harmonies & excellent songcraft that elevates thems high above their peers.
