Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli)
Though rare and difficult to identify, this species is one I consider an iconic New York bird: it was first discovered on Slide Mountain in the Catskills by ornithologist Eugene Bicknell, a lifelong New Yorker. The melody comes from this thrush’s ethereal song, slowed to 1/10 speed.
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
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
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
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
