ETHAN ROSE
"Oaks"
OUT NOW |
 |
| ETHAN ROSE - OAKS | OUT NOW |
|
"Oaks" is Ethan Rose's third full-length CD (after two titles for Locust Music: "Ceiling Songs" and "Spinning Pieces"), and once again, Ethan has succeeded in dragging a forgotten bit of our collective sonic past out of the shadows and reinterpreting it in a modern ambient electronica context. The result is simply gorgeous. |

|
Francisco López – the most mysterious sound artist ever, the man who has elevated aural enigma and sonic displacement to artform status – joins forces with Lawrence English, the leading figure of the Australian experimental music scene, for a puzzling CD. Their soundworld lies somewhere between mystery and mystification. |
