Red Planet

VINYL FORMAT. Maine husband and wife duo Buck and Shanti Curran, known as Arborea, incant a haunting sound woven from a diversely textured loom, casting adrift songs that seemingly hover in the air, weightless and in flux, like a spectral hymn bathed in twilight. Arborea are sculptors of cinematic mini masterpieces, with an expansive folk style that borrows from traditional American and British folk idioms, 60s pysch folk and rock, "American Primitive" guitar, world indigenous music and minimalism, tethered all the while by Shanti Curran's wistful, ethereal vocals and lush lyrical imagery. Arborea have come into their own with their fantastic 4th album Red Planet, absolutely the most finely distilled and focused display of their resonant sonic-acoustic vision to date. Features Helena Espvall on cello.
