"Jeremy Bible and Jason Henry's Shpwrck, is a beautifully diverse opus, bringing
together a wide range of acoustic instruments and field recordings through unique
processing and arrangements. Dark and minimal yet oddly comforting, Shpwrck’s wide
open spaces succeed at creating exotic environments illustrating the duo’s growing
attention to detail at crafting and bringing together delicate textures into lengthy abstract
sound art montages. Subtle breaths of musicality lie amongst constantly evolving beds of
atmosphere. Touches of gritty surface noise and found recordings approach from the
distance and momentarily come into focus.
sun soaked ocean side
water electric waves
haunted growing forest
surrounding sanity
unperfected moments
trees into green glass
underwater screams
trapped breaking free
stop start repeat
plagued machines sickness stall
breathing architecture pulls away
roots hold ground standing still
Shpwrck comes packaged in experimedia's custom signature three panel folding tall slim
pack featuring the photography of Jeremy Bible and is protected in a clear polysleeve."

"Once again, this pairing fuse heady organic field recording with strange, angular
atmospheres, that remind me of some of the early recordings on the UK’s EM:T label,
back in the day… in the main, these are eerie and spacious works, conjuring dark, but
not altogether uncomfortable imagery, infused with the spirit of Dada, being a close
cousin of musique concret perhaps, or some of the early works of Pierre Schaefer at
times. Pieces like 'sphotnblp' are pure experimentalism, using light and space to
perpetrate areas of wondrous tonalism. The duo’s overall approach is certainly a breath
of fresh air, as their canvas is littered with creative and original solutions, defying any
obvious genre (always a good thing in my book), and creating a language all of their own.
These three releases come with my highest recommendation, and in the words of Bible
and Henry – 'excllnt'." (BGN)
