The Man With Flowering Hands

Continuing in the vein of earlier Dixie's Death Pool releases, The Man with Flowering Hands is an incredibly detailed and immersive sonic journey, twisting like a David Lynch Soundtrack, or the more experimental moments of Tom Waits' Bone Machine. OPening with the intimate and epic splendor of "Sunlight Is Collecting On My Face," the album immediately engulfs the listener in a swirling fizz of stratospheric synthesizers, electronics, bells, harp, violin, piano, organ, and xylophone. This painterly orchestration is wrapped around the simple hazy strum of an acoustic guitar, brushed drums and upright bass. Dixie's Death Pool albums are not the product of a band so much as that of a producer, orchestrating and configuring an ever changing cast of musicians.
