When the piano is recorded, then █ █ partially removed, leaving an ôempty shellö where the notes one █ █ shuddered. The recording operates as a sonic illusion, as the notes █ █ heard are not fully there. Some wander between the boundaries of tracks █ █ like sheep through busted fences. Others simply wait for company û the █ █ sweeps and crystalline tones that fall around the piano like dust from █ █ the arms of the abandoned windmill in which it was recorded. In one █ █ sense, the organic sounds are receding to expose the inorganic, but in █ █ another, the natural is receding to expose the supernatural, the █ █ physical to expose the spiritual. In the end, the EP sounds more like █ █ an electronic work, as hums and bright chords are accompanied by happy █ █ crackle and digital bells. The pops and bings turn out to have more of █ █ a presence than the identifiable elements, producing a sense of wonder. █ █ As the electric guitar makes an appearance on the title track, █ █ surrounded by the buzzing of pixies and sprites, itÆs as if heaven and █ █ earth were meeting in a sunny glen. Only four tracks dance on this █ █ postcard, but enough to allure: a seeming mirage that turns out to be an █ █ oasis.
