Persian Carpets (Vinyl)
Second LP of duets by these longtime VHF family staples, here delivering 2 side-long epics of âminimalistâ bliss. Both sides feature Daniel on piano and Richard on zither, with rippling waves of sound recalling classics like Charlemagne Palestineâs âStrumming Musicâ (Dan is a frequent collaborator with C.P.) and Richardâs âAdvent.â
âPersian Carpets Iâ is a real-humans performance full of tiny variants in rhythm and attack, rising and falling in intensity â sometimes a rush of sound, sometimes a cloud of soft overtones and phantom notes. âPersian Carpets IIâ is more spare, with quiet and careful piano alongside Richardâs subdued accompaniment â a gorgeous bath of pointillist sound that rewards close listening.
A glorious balm for dark and weird times. Superb, quiet pressing by Smashed in Chicago.
