Album Description

As the arc of indie rock begins to describe its inevitable (and long overdue) decline, a silver lining has presented itself, mixed-metaphorically speaking: the discovery of new, or rather older, traditional sounds: folk, ethnic music from Europe and Asia/India and the leanings of the neo-classic. The class of '92 has graduated to more holistic sounds. Enter Idyll Swords. <P>Idyll Swords' debut CD is full of lush audio landscapes and sonic topography culled from other traditions. There's the blues in their cover of Fred McDowell's "When the Train Comes Along." There's generous doses of Indo-Asian throughout the rest of the tracks. There's a bowed guitar piece that sounds like and India saraanghi. Idyll Swords play wonderful music redolent of various geographies and meld it all in to a new aural wonderland.
