A new thing on Jabu's 'Do You Have Peace?' label, this LP manifests a deep improvised excursion between Manchester's Teresa Winter, and Bristol's Birthmark (last seen on Cold Light, or as part of the Bird Of Peace Orchestra also alongside Jabu's very own Guest and A. Childs - making up this no-fuss, extra-lush, impromptu living room quartet that formed one evening in Autumn 2023, and recorded these tracks.

The recordings might be improvised, but it doesn't feel incoherent or slapdash at all. Everyone obviously got in a very deep zone for this one. You can almost hear the sound of the curtains being half-drawn, moonlight shimmering through and the incense burning gently, it's that reflective calm of night time taking over, on a deep spiritual trip through sound, without forcing any kind of ceremony - just good friends letting the music flow as it wants to, with all machines and microphones, and guitars plugged in at once - no looking at the clock, no aiming for any charts, just a deep dive into the mood of that 'now' of the time when this was recorded.

It's a beautiful record that breathes and grows as it goes along. Meditative, but not in a functional 'shut down' kind of way, more in the sense that 'it'll take you somewhere'... Away from your day to day stress, or whatever is on your mind - into a nice focus through experimental, yet musically rooted frequency.

"The record is comprised of a series of improvised recordings made over the course of an evening in Autumn ’23, captured at the Jabu home studio, while Teresa was staying in town for a show.
Everything was recorded into the desk in a single take and left as it was, no editing or overdubs, instruments were swapped around and effects units left buzzing ground hum scattered over the floor.
Teresa and Guest (Jasmine of Jabu) provided the vocals, taking words from anything at hand - poetry books, an old copy of the Whole Earth Catalog - their voices winding together, echoing out each other’s melodies.
This approach is mirrored by the instrumentals, anchored by something at times - a bassline, one of Birthmark’s synth drones or a fizzing chord but always on the edge of collapsing in on itself or floating away.
The tracks become more soporific as the record goes on (and as the night got later), ending on a refrain of ‘say you think its true’ as the instrumental finally dissolves the pedals get dialled up to 11 and Birthmark’s drones turn into distant lasers in a last swan song of feedback."

Yes yes, trust us and treat yourself to this record.
It's very very good, honest music that'll live on for a long time.
