Amidst a heavy run of even heavier tapes from Peasant Magik, Pink Priest (William Cody Watson) offers a breather with And I Watched The Ivy Cover Your House. Whether two untitled tracks or two tracks of the same name, the sides form a kind continuum from center to center, in droning, floral ambience like early Kranky (Labradford, Windy & Carl) meshed with late Editions Mego (Emeralds, Noveller, OPN). Though a C30 with ample helpings of billowy sonic soot and blunt fragments, the majority sound is diminutive and ephemeral, breezy, and with an organic impulse of its own as suggested by the title. And I Watched The Ivy Cover Your House is an active meditation, “new age” with somewhere to go. Insert holds an impressive print by James Livingston on silver vellum. All cassettes come pro-pressed in glossy color J-cards and vellum bands, hand-numbered to 100 copies each. (Peasant Magik cassette, $7 HERE)
