BAKER, AIDAN — Half Lives

"Half Lives is the Gizeh Records follow-up album to Baker�s acclaimed 2013 album Already Drowning. While that album was built around the guest vocals of female singers - including Carla Bozulich, Jessica Bailiff and Genevi�ve Castr�e (O Paon) - Half Lives comprises two separate but interconnected albums and Baker�s loose concept was that they would bridge the more abstract/experimental and song-oriented natures of his work. Both albums were recorded in August 2014 in Berlin and are the product of initial extended improvisations that were then arranged into coherent pieces - �constructed� rather than �composed�. In these senses, parallels can be made with artists such as Bark Psychosis, Low and The For Carnation, for whom experimentation with texture and timbre has never been a reason to abandon the song form.

� 2xCD // Housed in a 6 panel matt finished digifile sleeve. Includes a free instant download of the entire album."
