Lawrence English ~ Viento

Lawrence English’s follow-up to Shadow of the Monolith continues his exploration of Antarctic sounds, but is a much more visceral and immediate work than its predecessor.  On this LP, English presents two side-long recordings of winter fury.  Given such conditions, most reasonable
