Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis)
With their boisterous yodeling cry, long-tailed ducks are a characterful winter specialty of coastal waters. Common off Orchard Beach and around the Rockaways, they leave in spring to nest in the Arctic. The long-tailed duck’s call is adapted here into a harmonic structure reminiscent of a Baroque gigue.
i was at 2 of these shows and they were a highlight of the year for me, so glad to see this music released -- the interplay is incredible and the interpretations are so fresh. the recording quality is excellent as well. e123
Lehman's most emotional and most beautiful album to date. This album manages to be complex and extremely interesting to listen to while also feeling like a strong expression of emotion. Lehman's trio is incredible as usual, and they synergize perfectly with Craig Taborn. rat
The seventh full-length from De Beren Gieren walks the line between spooky library music and free improv, shapeshifting constantly. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 12, 2024
I'd received a sample cd from Whirlwind with an Arthur Hnatek album. This album is the first I fell in love with on their site. Rudyy Royston ALWAYS pulls me in! Jonathan Pryor
This music has everything I need: acoustic instruments, a slow build, layers of atypical harmonies and rhythms being added each pass through, subtle melodies and combinations. Excellent work! Little James
