*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* « Male Bowerbirds Build Camps Of All The Best Stuff They’ve Found - Like A Tiny Museum Of Magic Things To Seduce The Female. This One Is Not Just To Impress A Girl, It’s For Everyone. Anyone Who Finds It. It’s To Make Them Fall In Love With Everything! » - Lanny (Max Porter)
On his solo album entitled 'Bower' 𝗔rto van Roey searches for mesmerizing fingerpicking patterns that evoke dense sound tapestries full of harmonics, with a fanatic urge to experiment with several touchés on the neck, backed by deformed chord progressions, alien sounds and silences.
Minimalist, repetitive, slow, experimental, acoustic. Also: dissonant melancholic. Including varied references to for instance Nick Drake, Marc Ribot, Baden Powell, but also Nik Bärtsch, Skúli Sverrisson, Steve Reich and Morton Feldman.
