The first of a vinyl trilogy set to be released through 2010, “Forest Of Evil’ is a more unearthly affair, split into two long tracks that summon the presence of the pair’s geographical, musical and spiritual ancestors. The ‘Dusk’ side unfurls from a cacophonous piano sequence into an anguished drone that nervously builds into an audible nausea. Dawn’ embodies a more disturbed persona, rumbling through free-jazz tape loops and thunderous drums before adopting the kind of narcotic, claustrophobic terrain often visited by Shackleton and then, out of nowhere, a widescreen coda, edging
out of total despair and darkness and into something that you could just about to convince yourself.
