“Der zweite Teil der "From The Earth To The Spheres" Split Serie. Das Projekt THUJA ist eng verwoben mit der in San Francisco beheimateten "Jewelled Antler Music" Szene und eines der interessantesten und aktivsten Avantgarde-Rock Ensembles. Neben einem eigenen Label, auf dem die verschiedenen Nebenprojekte (THE BLITHE SONS, THE FRANCISCAN HOBBIES...) veröffentlicht werden, haben Gründungsmitglieder Loren Chasse (OF, COELACANTH) und Glenn Donaldson (MIRZA, SKY GREEN LEOPARDS) beide eine beeindruckende Solokarriere vorzuweisen: Donaldson als BIRDTREE und IVYTREE, Chasse als einerder besten audiovisuellen Künstler, der Kunstgallerien überall auf der Welt mit seinen Performances bereichert. Der hier vertretene Song "The Magma Is The Brother Of The Stone" ist eine der mutigsten und hypnotischsten Arbeiten in der Diskografie der beiden. MY CAT IS AN ALIEN liefern den zweiten Song des Albums und widmen sich weiterhin der Thematik Außerirdisches. "When The Earth Whispered Your Name" ist eine neue Reise in Richtung der Weite des Kosmos, wo Hochfrequenz-Ektoplasmen nicht länger wie Heulen klingen, sondern eher wie ein mehr und mehrvertrauter Blues. In der Tat...[Cargo] “Thuja mine minimalism and sound textures within elaborate, real-time compositions that examine the nature of sound. Audiovisual artist Loren Chasse (Coelacanth) and Glenn Donaldson (Mirza, Sky Green Leopards, Birdtree and Ivytree) are joined on one of the their more adventurous and hypnotic works, "The Magma Is The Brother Of The Stone" by Rob Reger and collaborator Greg Bianchini. My Cat Is An Alien scan obscure and scattered drones as the world collapses into silence. The Italian duo's high-frequency ectoplasm drifts away from the raw howl of the past toward a blues-y intimacy." [label info]
