Smekermann Don’t let the drab cover dissuade you - behind it is a beautiful, lush psych-folk album mixing esoteric instruments like hurdy-gurdy, psaltery and hammered dulcimer with a sort of cinematic vision akin to that of Steven R. Smith. Some absolutely gorgeous songs here. Favorite track: Searching the Fog.

about

Curved Walls is the solo project of Calgary based multi-instrumentalist session musician and Hermitess member Richard Gallant. Utilizing a diverse assortment of stringed instruments both ancient and modern, Gallant constructs rich sonic tapestries that contrast and build on the distinct timbral identities of his wide collection of traditional instruments. Expect to hear the medieval tones of Hurdy Gurdy and Psaltery contrasted against ambient electronics and heavy electric guitar riffs, all blended together into intricately organized studio confections designed to delight the ear of the headphone aficionado. Boldly experimental while still maintaining keen melodicism and meditative, harmonic grounding, Curved Walls takes the adventurous listener along on a rich and rewarding sonic excursion.

Hurdy Gurdy, Guitar, Harp, Hammered Dulcimer, Harmonium, Charango, Bowed Psaltery, Dr-660, DTXplorer
