"Finally we are so excited to announce, the debut full length solo offering from our Cascadian brother James Woodhead (The Elemental Chrysalis) entitled "Secrets Beyond Time & Space". Featuring all original visual crafts by James Woodhead & printed within Glass Throat's expansive 6 panel CD gatefold (Satin varnish)!
Audible skies...Tears from the heart of hope...Yes! Warming visions of sonically floating cloud gatherings, deeply moving & gorgeously flowing! Four peaceful "untitled" movements, embrace the essence of blossoming love, honesty & respect, so lacking in today's underground genres. "Secrets Beyond Time & Space" is truly crafted to be heard as one flowing 70 minute epic composition. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THE USE OF EAR COVERING HEADPHONES FOLKS!" [label info]
"Lately, we just can't get seem to get enough of all the great mystical ambient music happening. Portland’s At the Head of the Woods, a solo project of James Woodhead (Blood of the Black Owl, Elemental Chrysalis) is the perfect example of this super beautiful, dim and
desolate sound that we love so much. Considering the band name and all, we thought it’d be a good idea to take this album along for a Sunday evening drive through the redwoods. And man, it turned out to be the perfect experience. Nothing like lush, woodsy dronescapes to accompany an evening drive. Striking acoustic and electric guitar
melodies played over round, turning tones that move and crawl across the forest ground like dense fog. Awesome stuff. We know how easy it
is for a drone album to become a bit one dimensional, but this one really takes the listener along for an epic journey through still meadows and onto seaside crags. The album builds momentum from hovering vocal and guitar drones to slow rural dirges lead by full on
pummeling, sloooooow-paced drums. Reminds us a lot of the newer Earth albums, but slightly darker and more mystical, with less of the
country twang. There’s a great balance between colorful textures and engaging composition, really makes for an immersive listen that’s sure to make you feel like you’re watching sunlight fade behind the silhouettes of towering trees." [Aquarius Records review]
