New Evening

by Ulaan Passerine

The Dusk Chapel Smith seems to be a master of every instrument out there and on New Evening he applies his skill to several strange ones, layering and manipulating them to great effect. The result is two primordial pieces suspended in time, shifting, glowing, and shimmering like the sunset over the Pacific, or a sunrise burning away the morning fog over the Blue Ridge Mountains. This album is another flawless entry into Smith's vast catalog of haunting hymns to the world's secret and lost things. Favorite track: Dawning.

Smekermann If you're unfamiliar with Ulaan Passerine but you enjoy "cinematic" music, whatever that means to you - you should give this a listen. He evokes... scenes. Expansive scenes that, for me, tap into that primal awe you felt when you suddenly realized, goddamn, you're just a small intruder, a mere observer in the true spectacle of nature, and these are forces upon which you exert no will, or control. But anyway. It's real good, is what I'm saying. Favorite track: Evening.
