Wounded Knee "Shimmering New Vistas" Benbecula Records, 2009 (BEN044) CD Album - Digipak 5021449194124 Release date: 09 March 2009 BUY THIS RELEASE Track Listing 01 My Wooden Cupboard 02 Bools Rules 03 Rif on the Kif 04 River Song 05 Gone 06 The Sublime Frequencies 07 Atlanta Wounded Knee has released two Minerals albums on Benbecula, this is his first full scale release. During 2008 WK's live style mediated toward improvised journeys into vocal realisation with performances reaching an almost primal level. "The Sublime Frequencies" is one such example. However WK covers all bases on this album with a sonic mix of song, spoken word and sound effects drawing influences from as far afield as Gaelic psalm, improv and throat techniques a la Bobby McFerrin and even scat. At the heart, a modern symbiosis of folk and mantra, culminating in an album that is unique, playful and captivating. Reviews "It's beautiful, vast, ancient, slightly silly and funky as fungus" Plan B - main album feature "... a one-stop shop of beautifully layered mantras, throat noises, songs about bowling and Gaelic flutes flapping about in the wilderness." Time Out "Hugely original and entertaining" Rock-a-Rolla "Wounded Knee is evocative, at times witty, and on occasion, haunting." The Skinny "Entrancing, disorientating, and awesome ... a significant addition to the contemporary Scottish music canon." The List "A brave, funny and bizarre triumph" Alternative Ulster 4/5 Buzz |
