Savaging Spires : Bending The Rules Of Time -EP- (UK,2011)****
Like the CWK Joynes single on the same label also the EP from Savaging Spires fits perfect for discovering them through the format of a 33” EP. The music is improvised and well arranged for its purpose in a kind of head spinning style of some lullaby-like repetitions, with a mood rhythm rooted by a slow and simple bowed cello theme, with glockenspiel arrangements and a very nice group singing over it, which sing songs and lalalas performed like a scenery performance with celebratory dedication, like a mystical dance, an acoustic minimalist opera, with beautiful layers arranged by several additional voices, clarinet, drums, banjos and who knows what else. By the last track the arrangements almost give a classical music flavour. Very good !!
