Triptych

by Half Deaf Clatch

supported by

Carsten Pieper As always, I couldn't let his next Bandcamp Friday release pass. As always, slight adjustment to previous approaches. As always, very much recommended "cinematic instrumental chamber blues something"... Favorite track: The Second.

about

I’ve tried to incorporate the number three, or its multiples in the music of this release as much as possible, the most obvious is that there are three songs, all of which are exactly six minutes long. A lot of the riffs and melodies are played in triplets or groups of three throughout the EP, and the final song is in 3/4 time, just to hammer the point home. There's further explanation in the release liner notes with the CD and download.

The electric cello was played through an Orange 'Crush' acoustic amp and EHX Soul Food pedal. The French horns are from the Orchestral Tools 'Majestic Horns' VST, and the pipe organ is from the Sonuscore Pipe Organ VST.

As has (rightfully) already been said elsewhere, this band and album are "absolute fire." Despite the doom-gloom cover art, this type of rock music is a positive force. Especially without vocals, which for me is a bonus. Dale Lloyd

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness

Man I don't know jack about prog metal but I know this is more narrative than most works in the genre and I love the cover art. 🎸 CyanStrawberry

This just has some great vibes all around - from the energy of 56th Floor and Symphony of the ironic sympathy to the gentle, laid back Soul Keeper - it’s worth the time to listen to it all. potaytoes
