Eyes closed, ears wide open, we are given freedom to dream the void. Sweeping, intricate, sometimes ominous yet always exuding a warmth and depth of emotion, The Stargazer's Assistant produces pure cinema of sound. For the new EP, David J. Smith (Guapo) is joined by Circle vocalist Mika Rttö', who sings on the heart-breaking 'Coral Butterfly'. David also had the honour of playing the late Finnish jazz drummer Edward Vesala's Sound & Fury collection of unique metal percussion. Ancient forests, vast plains, billowing clouds, rusted metal hulks, wet rock walls, lights flickering in darkness: these are the subtle visions of The Stargazer's Assistant. A 2x10' vinyl release incorporating the acclaimed Shivers and Voids EP on Utech Records and a new three-track EP, Mirrors and Tides, featuring 'Coral Butterfly', 'Mirrors & Tides' and 'Secret Kingdom of the Swift.' Presented in a 20' x 20' poster sleeve with art by Patti Jordan. Limited to 300 copies. Black vinyl + download.
