Few days ago White Pines released a new 7‘‘ single via Jumberlack called Is Passed In Sleep, At Night He Hunts. You may remember Joseph Scott and his fine EP A Face Made Of Wood from 2009 which earned much praise from many music blogs; if not, you can check out my former review of it here. The new material features Gather The Childrens on the A-side and Name As Son on the B-Side. Gaher The Children is a smooth acoustic guitar driven song with decent percussions and background vocals. Scott’s voice reminds me of country ballads even though the main sound of the track is more singer-songwriter orientated. Overall a very nice piece of music that clearly shows the slower side of the band in comparison to the A Face Made Of Wood EP. Name As Son maintains this slow basis and isn’t too different in character. It got decent percussions too and some sort of distorted background (guitar?) sound, that creates a feeling of distance in some way, I think. Later there are some stings and again background vocals with additional glockenspiel-like sounds. Choosing the right genre tags seems to be difficult, for it got some folk moments, some slow alternative moments as well as a hint of spiritual music. Very nice composition that makes me curious about following releases.
This single is recommended to every lover of contemporary folk inspired music. To order your copy, head over to the Jumberlack store and buy it right now. Also watch out for the very good offer to purchase any 3 CDs for the price of just 12$.
