So far so good, the storm is not yet here but the westcoast in Jutland is on red alert. I live in the south east and are expecting something like 25 meters per second later this afternoon.
My goodness ! - the storm is getting heavy now . . .
Soundcloud streaming The Stranger (Leyland Kirby) - Watching Dead Empires In Decay - "'Watching Dead Empires in Decay, an album recorded under another of Kirbys pseudonyms The Stranger and released on Modern Love, a label that has been close to Kirby through these last eventful 15 years. Its a dream album for the label: perhaps the most ambitious of Kirbys career so far. Its complex, singular, enigmatic, percussive, dark, and you just cant work out how it was constructed.
Gone are the sampled 78s of The Caretaker, but it also doesn't exactly sound electronic - you just cant quite fathom how any of it was put together: Field Recordings? Found Sounds? Sheets of metal scraped and hammered? Drum machines re-wired? Its stark and unsettling, haunted, even troubling - but often just beautiful."
BN - When you say 25 meters per second you're referring to wind speed, right? When I first read it I imagined it as rain fall, and my eyes almost popped out of my face. Stay safe, either way!

Glad to hear you came through the storm ok BN!
It is enjoyable and the the production sounds full, but I cannot compare it to anything she has done previously.
This album came out in a musical dead period for me, so I've never really spent any time with it.
