ULAAN PASSERINE - LIGHT IN DUST
worstward 2015, edition of 150

stunning new work from guitar legend STEVEN R SMITH, two sidelong pieces opening with the moody title track, a slow burning ambient drone folk suite, a meditation where the desert meets the cosmos, channeling the stark post blues soundscapes of LOREN CONNORS, the minimalist elements of late period TALK TALK, repurposing the bygone drone folk of HALA STRANA, then "morning" comes on side 2, incredibly sparse gorgeous piano like the ghost of SATIE, delicate motifs evaporating into the ether, yet another masterpiece from SRS on 10 inch vinyl with fantastic artwork on hand numbered letterpressed jackets
