David Tagg's first new album at SSR since 2009′s Wind Blown Guitar has arrived. I Am The Wolf encompasses many of David's trademark styles, from emotive loops to dense layers of drones, while also bringing something new -- the sound of David's raw, untreated guitar -- to the fore. Wolf is a living breathing space filled with bone-white arch like structures that tower high above an ebbing red ocean. Bits of sonic debris silently fall like snow, making ripples of echoes as they land in the water. A looming sadness pervades the area -- perhaps giving us the feeling that we are, in fact, standing in a grave. David's masterful way with etching despair, isolation and total disconnection out of six bronze strings continues to be nothing short of a dreamlike experience for listeners, who themselves are drawn directly into the gloom and tasked with lighting a torch, climbing the stairs out of the Pentecost cellar, and finding their way out of the castle. Outside the tower, the massive red unnavigable landscape watches, waits, knows -- knows that no one who has been drawn inside it can leave without being marked.
Great n' great channel mate :)
