Pyr▲mids of ▲▲ is an artist from Cananda who make music with a really nice orchestral sound, a bit like Sigur Rós doing a kind of ambient Witch beat shoe gaze. But with a name like that and song titles such as The Pyramids of Mulholland Drive, Witches and Bitches and The Pyramids of Titan its also got a bit of tongue in cheek irreverence about it. I don't know whether I actually find these titles a bit annoying or not, because as I listen to Pyr▲mids of ▲▲ more I'm finding it sounds really good, why ruin it slightly with throw away names?
Anyway beyond having a triangle fetish Pyr▲mids of ▲▲ really does make great droning ambient atmospheres that drip with texture and interest. You can get all three of the EPs for free from Last.fm from the following links:
The first demo called Tri▲ngulum which features 10 tracks.
The first EP called Pyr▲mids which has 4 tracks on it.
And finally the most recent EP called simply Sp▲cedout which is also 4 tracks long.
This is special, Halls is a South London based musician who makes some of the most beautiful and glacial ambient tracks out there, slow low post-post-dubstep that washes over you like ice creeping across the face of snowball earth. As if in the faint far crystal distance some one is playing Neon Indian or Blackbird Blackbird on a battered radio and the mountains in between are bouncing and dragging, echoing and washing the sound with sonic bleach. Strange half caught vocal rumours, snowdrift rumbles and late night headphone walks, mournful echoes of long lost songs caught in the up draft from towns far below and swept into the stratosphere to be played with by the only things floating up there with them; tiny silvery spiders. BEAUTIFUL. Go buy the self titled EP for £1 here. And the single Solace for £2 here. Worth every penny.
