OCEAN CHARTER OF VALUES / LUNG CYCLES - SPLIT
lily 2015, edition of 50

another fantastic split cassette via LUNG CYCLES in house imprint LILY - OCOV debuts with a lush tapestry of ambient, folk and modern classical elements "recorded in an abandoned satellite station" weaving STARS OF THE LID esque composition with a more spontaneous experimental edge and some euphoric vocal melodies a la LICHENS or IAN WILLIAM CRAIG - LUNG CYCLES offers an incredible side of moody drone psych parallel to concurrent greats GREG GORLEN, LEE NOBLE and LOST TRAIL - billowing meditative tones, hazy atmospherics and zoned tape manipulation, right in my wheel house with "sparklers" hitting the bullseye dead on, and a perfect closer to boot -- one of the best tapes of the year, now available at the PSI LAB SHOP
